It is a name from literature: in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s chronicles it belongs to a treacherous daughter of King Leir, and Shakespeare adapted the story as King Lear in 1606. Wikipedia explains that Regan is also a transferred use of the Irish surnames Regan and Reagan, which are Anglicized forms of Ó Riagáin, “descendant of Riagán,” a name of uncertain meaning.
