Saegan
A girl's name with 20 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Saegan is a two-syllable girl's name with a clean, contemporary sound — among the most common endings in modern American names. With only 20 recorded U.S. births, it is exceptionally rare — the kind of name most people encounter for the first time when they meet your child.
Saegan is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Saegan is an invented masculine name, possibly a creative variant of Sagan — the surname most associated with the astronomer and author Carl Sagan, who made the cosmos accessible to millions through his work Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Sagan's own name may derive from a Polish place name.
Whether or not the Carl Sagan connection was intended, Saegan carries a certain cosmic curiosity in its sound. It's a name that sounds like it's looking at the stars — unusual, thoughtful, and quietly ambitious.
