Keggan Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Contracted from Mac Taidhgin, 'Little Tadhg’s Son', or possibly from Mac Egan, which is itself a contraction of Mac Ædhagain. The name Ædhagan, a diminutive of Ædh, may be rendered 'The Little Fiery Warrior'.
The name Abakan, i.e., Ædhacan or Ædagan, occurs on a cross at Kirk Michael, the legend on which Mr. Kermode translates: 'Mael Brigd, son of Aþakan Ædha- gan), Smith, raised this cross for his soul'.
‘Moelisa Roe Mac Egan, the most learned man in Ireland, in Law and Judicature, died A.D. 1317.' Mageoghan, in his version of the Annals of Clonmac- noise, gives this entry : 'Moeleissa Roe Mac Keigan, the best learned in Ireland in the Brehon Lawe.' The Mac Egans were hereditary Brehons and professors of the old Irish laws. They compiled the vellum MS. called Leabhar Breac, or 'Speckled Book' the most remarkable repertory of ancient Irish ecclesiastical affairs.
The name Quiggin, and its later and more uncommon form QuaggiN, is also probably a contraction either of Mac Taidhgin or Mac Ædhagain, but no intermediate form has been found. Mac Quig and Mac Keag, names found in Ireland at the present day, have a common origin.
