Eógan

Éogan is an early Irish male given name, which also has the hypocoristic and diminutive forms Eoganán, Eóghainin, Eóghain and Eóghainn. The Modern Irish form of the name is Eoghan (pronounced ['oː(ə)nˠ]).

In Scottish Gaelic, the name is Eòghann or Eòghan. All of the above are often anglicised as Euan, Ewan, Ewen or, less often, Owen. The name in both Goidelic languages is generally considered a derivative of the Greek and Latin name Eugenes, meaning "noble born".
