The surname Keigans, also spelled McKeehan, has its roots in Ireland and is derived from the Irish Gaelic name Mac Aodhagáin, which means son of Aodhagán. Aodhagán itself is a diminutive form of Aodh, meaning fire or fiery. The name Aodhagán was common in ancient Ireland, and it is believed that the surname Keigans/McKeehan originated from a prominent family or clan associated with Aodhagán.
During the medieval period, Ireland was divided into various kingdoms and clans, each with their own distinct surnames. The Keigans/McKeehan surname likely emerged as a result of individuals being identified by their paternal lineage. Over time, as surnames became more standardized, the prefix Mac (meaning son of) was added to the personal name, giving rise to names like Mac Aodhagáin.
The Keigans/McKeehan surname is predominantly found in the northern regions of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Antrim and Down. Many individuals bearing this surname eventually emigrated to other parts of the world, including North America, during periods of economic hardship or political unrest in Ireland. As a result, the surname has spread beyond its Irish origins and can now be found among Irish diaspora communities worldwide.
