Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Megan? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Yes, it is. The -an is a Welsh diminutive ending, and Meg is from Margaret in the usual way, with a short e.
It looks as if it should have a long -ee sound in the first syllable, because there is a single consonant following it. The more usual way of spelling it to achieve the short -e sound would be to double the g: Meggan. But that isn't the way Welsh works, it seems!
