“Possibly power and strength”

Possibly a Swedish diminutive built from the Old German element megin, meaning 'power, strength', arriving via a Low German short form. The same spelling is also the ordinary Slovenian word for 'border', a separate and unrelated origin story, not evidence for the Swedish name's etymology.

A short, modern Scandinavian name with a strong, no-nonsense sound; feels fresh rather than trendy and should age well.
