Reconstruction notes[edit]
An older hypothesis also compared Old Irish Eógan, Irish Eoghan, Scottish Gaelic Eòghan and sometimes also descendants of Proto-Celtic *Awiganyos; but these connections are considered phonetically impossible, and the former are more likely from Proto-Celtic *Iwogenos, q.v. for more.
