Riley
Old English · “From the Old English ryge leah, meaning "rye clearing" or "rye meadow" — a habitational surname referring to a place where rye was grown. As a given name, Riley transferred from the Irish surname Ó Raghallaigh (anglicised as O'Reilly), meaning "descendant of Raghallach," where Raghallach likely meant "valiant." By the 21st century Riley became a popular gender-neutral name in the United States.”
Reagan
Irish · “An anglicised form of the Irish surname "Ó Riagáin" or "Ó Reagáin", derived from the Old Irish "riagán" possibly meaning "little king" or from "rí" (king) combined with a diminutive suffix. The name transitioned from a patronymic surname to a given name through the Irish-American tradition of using family surnames as first names, a practice that preserved ancestral Celtic identity through generations of the diaspora.”
