Answer 3

If you are using it in reference to a place called Pegan Cove Park, the word is actually the last name of one of Massachusetts' first families (pronounced PEA-gun). They lived on the property at the front area of the park. http://www.millermicro.com/pcp.html

If you mean pagan, that is a different matter entirely. That word is actually subjective, meaning that it is used in different ways and can mean several things, from someone who does not believe in Christ, to a bumpkin, to someone who worships many gods in nature, to simply someone who does not fit into the mainstream of religions. Here is the link to a good webpage on the meaning of pagan.

Answer 4

Pegan is not a word. Try looking it up in the dictionary if you have the correct spelling.

Answer 5

Pagan
The term pagan is from Latin paganus, an adjective originally meaning "rural", "rustic" or "of the country." As a noun, paganus was used to mean "country dweller, villager." (It is from this derivation of "villager" which we have the word "villain", which the invading Christians called the Pagans of Northern Europe/Scandinavia) From its earliest beginnings, Christianity spread much more quickly in major urban areas (like Antioch, Alexandria, Corinth, Rome) than in the countryside (in fact, the early church was almost entirely urban), and soon the word for "country dweller" became synonymous with someone who was "not a Christian," giving rise to the modern meaning of "pagan."[1] In large part, this may have had to do with the conservative nature of rural people, who were more resistant to the new ideas of Christianity than those who lived in major urban centers.

Answer 8

"Pegan" does not exist, but "Pagan" does. "Pagan" refers to the belief in multiple gods. (i.e. Greek and Roman religions)

Answer 9

now it refers to nature worship religions, but I believe it originally means "of the country" so I guess cowboys would be pagan. Christians used it to describe other faiths.

Answer 10

Rural. Pagans of old times lived mainly in rural areas and thus got that name.
