Is "Egan" also an alternation of Eagan? I met someone with this surname and I've seen it in my area.

Eagen is Irish. The relatively large number of Eagens in Northern England can be explained by Irish immigrants spreading out from the port of Liverpool to work in the industrial towns in Northern England. You can actually see the surname thinning out as it gets further from the source. Hope that helps
