The English form of Eogan.
— Prænomina (1882) by Richard Stephen Charnock
A Gaelic name: Eòghann (Dial. Eòghainn), Middle Gaelic Eogan, Eoghan, E. Ir., Old Irish Hogan: *Avi-gono-s (*Avigenos, Stokes), “well born, good,” from *avi, friendly, good, Skr. ávi (do.), Got. avi-liud, thanks, Latin aveo, desire, possibly Greek eύ-, good (cf. here Εύγένης, Eugenius), Welsh has Eu-tigirn, Eu-tut, Old Brythonic Eu-cant, Eu-hocar, Gaul. Avi-cantus. Rhys (Hib. Lect. 63) refers Irish Eoghan and Welsh Owen to *Esu-gen-, Gaul. Esugenus, sprung from the god Esus. Zimmer regards Owen as borrowed from Latin Eugenius. Cf., however, the evo- of Ogmic Eva-cattos, now Eochaidh. Hence Mac-ewen.
