Signature Meaning
Egan is a short, modern given name used by some Tamil-speaking families. Its precise origin in Tamil is unclear, and it may be a phonetic adoption rather than a traditional Tamil name. Outside Tamil contexts, Egan is also an Irish surname historically associated with the idea of "little fire," though that connection may not apply for Tamil usage.
