Fagan Family History
Fagan Name Meaning
Gaelicized version of a surname of Norman origin, from
the personal name Pagan meaning ‘rustic’.in some cases it
is a reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Fágáin or
Ó Faodhagáin, which are probably dialect forms of Ó
hÓgáin (see Hogan, Hagan) and Ó
hAodhagáin (see Hagan). Irish lenited f (spelled
fh) is soundless, and a number of words beginning with vowels
have gained an initial f in some dialects; such seems to be the
case here.occasionally an Anglicized form of Mac
Phaidín (see McFadden) or Ó Fiacháin (see
Feehan).
