However, it may be influenced by names such as Keegan, which has Irish origins, meaning 'descendant of Aodhagán,' and is derived from the Gaelic 'Aodh,' meaning 'fire.'

Historically, names with similar phonetic structures have been present in various cultures, often associated with nobility or significant figures.
For instance, the name Keegan has been borne by notable individuals throughout history, including Irish poets and leaders.
