In the world, Egan (Egan 
, 이건 
, Еган 
, and others...) is quite a rare largely boy's, but infrequently feminine first name. The forename Egan is characteristic of Israel, where it is a rare primarily male, but very seldom female name, Ireland, where it is a rare gender-neutral name, and South Korea, where it is a rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Indonesia, Nigeria, and the United States. More frequently, Egan is the last name as well as the forename.
