40. "In Scottish Gaelic Eòghann and Eòghan are most often anglicised as Ewen or, less often, Owen. The name is generally considered cognate with the Greek and Latin name [[Eugene (given name)|Eugenes]], meaning "noble born"": Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912), reprinted for Clearfield Company, INC by Genealogical Publishing Co. INC, Baltimore 1995, 1996. Cormic gives this origin for Eogan (one MS, Eogen); and Zimmer considers Owen to be borrowed from Latin Latin: Eugens, as noted by MacBain, p. 400. The mediaeval Latinization of Owen as Latin: Oenus led to a belief that the etymology was the Welsh and Breton Welsh: oen, "lamb". With much stronger reason it was at one time considered that the name represented Irish Irish: eoghunn = Gael. Irish: Ogan- [f. Old Irish {{lang|sga|oc-}} Welsh {{lang|cy|og}}, young], ‘youth’. Surnames of the United Kingdom cites Tomás Ua Concheanainn, Irish: Mion-Chomhrádh (p. 126), that "Irish: Eóghan is a diminutive of Irish: Eóghainin, = Owain, Eugene"
