"The name Règán has Irish orish but is an Americanized and respelled as Raegan, , coming from an old Irish surname “Ó Riagáin” (a descendent of Riagán) – which in turn originated from the Gaelic "riodhgach" meaning ‘impulsive.’ The Ó Riagáins were widespread in medieval Irish kingdoms and important because they were very active against the Viking invaders. We think most would agree that “impulsive” is a charming meaning reflective of those feisty Irish natures.

For most other English-speakers, this would be considered a misspelling."
