Agan
A boy's name of Filipino origin with 5 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 5 babies have been named Agan in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
In the most recent SSA release, Agan ranks #12356 among U.S. boy names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Agan is a boy's baby name of Filipino origin, from the Tagalog and Cebuano agan, meaning 'dawn, early morning' — the specific time of day when night gives way to day, the most hopeful and beautiful hour. In Filipino tradition, names connected to dawn carry the aspiration of new beginnings and the most luminous start possible.
Agan is the Filipino declaration of dawn — the specific moment when darkness finally yields and the first light appears on the horizon. For parents who want their child's name to carry the most hopeful, luminous moment of every day.
