Irish name of uncertain meaning, possibly from a Celtic root meaning "damp" (cognate with Neptune). In Irish mythology Nechtan was the husband of Boann, the goddess of the River Boyne.

It was also the name of several kings of the Picts (described mostly from Gaelic sources, this may represent a Pictish cognate).
