Originating from the Welsh word *bychan* meaning “small” or “little,” Vaughn began as a surname before becoming a distinctive first name, with the spelling Vaughan often used interchangeably. One of the most famous bearers was Vaughn Monroe, the big-band singer and trumpeter whose smooth baritone made him a household name in the 1940s and 50s. The Canadian city of Vaughan, Ontario—a suburb of Toronto—takes its name from the English surname, not directly from the given name, but it shares the same Welsh root. As a first name, Vaughn has a crisp, modern feel while still carrying a touch of Celtic heritage, and it’s occasionally used for girls
