Pearl
Meghen is a rare spelling variant of Megan, which originated as a Welsh diminutive of Margaret. The name ultimately derives from the Greek word 'margarites', referring to a pearl. While the 'Megan' spelling is a 20th-century classic, this specific 'h' placement is an uncommon modern variation.
