No. It is an old Irish name. It seems to have been the name of a Roman Missionary to Britain in ancient times *See the Village in Cardiff, Wales, "St. Fagans", but there is no suggestion that the modern surname Fagan is derived from this British origin.

It seems to be a separate name in Ireland "O Faodhagain", and the anglicised version of this seems to be where the modern name has derived from. There is some suggestion that the Irish name is derived from Norman ancestry, but no suggestion that it has any sort of Viking origin. Sorry.
