Eógan Mac Muiredaig
Eógan mac Muiredaig is named in some Scotland, Scots sources as a king of Dál Riata, probably in the 730s. Presumed to be the son of Muiredach mac Ainbcellaig, and thus a king of the Cenél Loairn, Eógan is not named in any surviving Irish annals, nor does he appear in the Duan Albanach, which passes from Muiredach to Áed Find. The ''Chronicle of the Kings of Dál Riata'' names Eógan son of Muiredach as king after Muiredach, and the king-list in the Chronicle of Melrose includes him. Later genealogies of the Mormaer of Moray, Mormaers of Moray trace their descent from the Cenél Loairn through one Ruadrí, a presumed brother of Eógan's father. Eógan's reign falls in the period when Dál Riata was invaded and conquered by the Picts under Óengus I, Óengus mac Fergusa. The name of his successor is unknown, and the next king to appear in the record is Áed Find of the Cenél nGabráin, some three decades after Eógan's time.

Life Uuen was a son of Onuist II on ofUurguist rguist(in Gaelic: Óengus II mac Fergusa (Óengus II), died 834) and succeeded his cousin Drest mac Caustantín (Drest IX) as king in 837.

Ewan
Ewan is a Scottish name with multiple sources. It is usually an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic name Eòghann "noble born" and therefore derived ultimately from Latin ''Eugenius''. A Pictish name, ''Uuen'' (or ''Wen'') meaning "(the) warrior", or "born of the mountain", may instead be the source. If the source is Latin ''Eugenius'', it would make Ewan a cognate of Welsh, Cornish and Breton names including Owain (Owen) and Ouen. However, these may be older names derived from Britonnic language words referring to yew trees or ovines. Another possible more likely source is Euan, a Gaelic form of Latin '' Johannes/Ioannes''. As such it would be a cognate of Eoin, Ian and John. (''Euan'' is also an alternate name for the Roman god Bacchus.) Ewen is most common as a male given name in Scotland and Canada. It is also the source of surnames, mostly connected to Clan MacEwen and including McEwan, Ewan and Ewen. It is after these surnames that McEwan’s Beer and MacEwan Uni ...
