Tegan's Notebook is a lined journal with one name on the cover, hers. The name sits in flowing script above a soft pink watercolor apple blossom design.
Tegan means “darling” in Welsh, says Behind the Name, derived from a diminutive of Welsh teg, “beautiful, pretty.” Wikipedia adds that it historically meant “darling,” “loved one” or “favorite,” and that in modern Welsh it is the usual word for “toy.” It is rare as a personal name in Wales and England.
Behind the Name lists Taegan and Teagan as English forms of Tegan and Tegid as a related Welsh name. Wikipedia also points to Tegen, a Cornish female name. Tegan is short enough that most bearers use it as it is.
Tegan Quin, born in 1980, is a Canadian singer-songwriter, half of the duo Tegan and Sara, says Wikipedia. Its list also includes Tegan Nox, born in 1994, a Welsh professional wrestler, and Tegan Higginbotham, born in 1988, an Australian comedian and actress.
Tegan never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart ranks it for eight years from 2010 to 2017, best at 777th in 2011. Its strongest showings are in Australia (NSW), where it last ranked 73rd in 1996, and New Zealand, 85th in 1999.
Behind the Name says Tegan was borne by an Australian character on the television series Doctor Who from 1981 to 1984, and that the name was somewhat common in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Canada in the 1980s and 90s. Wikipedia lists Tegan Jovanka as that Doctor Who character.
This is a notebook for every kind of Tegan: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Tegan’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
How big is Tegan’s Notebook? The notebook measures 6 x 9 inches (roughly 15 x 23 cm) and has 160 lined pages.
