A simple, pretty journal made for one person: Megan. Her name is set in script above pink watercolor apple blossom on the cover.
Megan is a Welsh diminutive of Margaret, usually used as a name on its own. Margaret comes from the Greek margarites, “pearl”. Behind the Name says that outside Wales, Megan has only been regularly used in the English-speaking world since the middle of the 20th century, and Wikipedia notes that it is one of the most popular Welsh-language names for women in Wales and England.
Meg is the classic short form of Megan, and Behind the Name lists spellings such as Meagan, Meaghan, Meghan and Maegan. Because Megan comes from Margaret, it is cousins with Maggie, Peggy, Margo and Greta.
Megan Rapinoe won the Women’s World Cup with the US in 2015 and 2019, taking the Golden Ball and Golden Boot in 2019. Megan Thee Stallion won Best New Artist at the Grammys and topped the charts with “Savage” featuring Beyoncé. And Megan Gale, who won a modeling competition in Perth at 18, was cast as Wonder Woman in a planned Justice League film.
Megan is a name of the 1980s and 1990s. US Social Security data has it 89th in the 1970s, 14th in the 1980s and 10th in the 1990s, when more than 160,000 American girls were named Megan. It was 36th in the 2000s, so most Megans today are in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
Because Megan comes from Margaret and the Greek word for “pearl”, every Megan is in a sense named after a pearl. Pearl is the traditional birthstone for June and the classic gift for a 30th wedding anniversary. Megan Rapinoe also scored directly from a corner kick at the Olympics, and she has done it twice.
Whether Megan is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Megan on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
How big is Megan’s Notebook? It’s 6" x 9" (about 15.2 x 22.9 cm), with 160 lined pages in a paperback cover.
