Eachann is a masculine given name in the Scottish Gaelic.^[1] A similar and possibly related early form of the name was Eachdonn.^[2] The name is composed of two elements; the first element is each, meaning "horse". The second element is donn, which has been given two different meanings. One proposed meaning is "brown";^[3] another proposed meaning is "lord".^[4] The early Gaelic form of the name, Eachdonn, was 'confused' with the Norse Hakon (which is etymologically unrelated).^[2]

Eachann has often been Anglicised as Hector (which is also etymologically unrelated to Eachann).^[3]

The Scottish Gaelic surname MacEachainn is a patronymic form of the given name (meaning "son of Eachann").^[5]
