ArchivesRe: Daegan
in reply to a message by Hermanna
I'm not at a place where I can look in my Irish or Scottish name dictionaries, so I can't tell you for sure at the moment if Daegan has a Gaelic origin.
But Mackenzie is indeed Gaelic by origin, as is clearly stated in the name dictionary on this site.
Have you asked the parents how they came to name their daughter Daegan? That could certainly give you a clue.

I've now been able to check the dictionaries in my office and can't find anything resembling Daegan except Deegan. One of the alternative spellings for the surname Deegan given in Hanks & Hodges' A Dictionary of Surnames is Deighan, which some people might look at and think was pronounced Daegan. That might be one possible explanation.
But you still should ask the parents where they found it. :)
