Regan was a character from Norse mythology. He was described both as a diabolical and evil king, and also a magical dwarf skilled in the dark arts, in the Volsung Saga, which was kind of the Bible of the ancient Scandanavian religions. It's likely Blatty chose this name, both because of it's pagan and magical implications, as well as it's association with Regan, the evil, murderous daughter in Shakespeare's King Lear.
