The surname Egan, or its variant McEgan, has a rich history rooted in Irish descent. It is an ancient Irish name derived from the Gaelic Ó hÉagáin, meaning descendant of Éagán. The name Éagán itself translates to little fiery one or fiery.
The Egan clan was historically associated with the province of Connacht, particularly County Roscommon and County Galway. They were known for their expertise in various fields, including poetry, law, and medicine. It is believed that they were originally bards and physicians to the Kings of Connacht.
As the clan expanded, some members adopted the prefix Mc to indicate son of. Consequently, the variant McEgan emerged, especially among the Egan families in County Clare and County Limerick.
Throughout Irish history, the Egans played significant roles. They were prominent during the Gaelic revival of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, contributing to the preservation of Irish culture, language, and music.
Today, the surname Egan remains common in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities around the world. Many individuals with this surname continue to take pride in their Irish heritage and actively participate in cultural celebrations and events.
