Not in all species. Although at the end of meiosis there are 4 daughter cells, not all of these are always eggs.
In most animals, females produce one mature ovum (egg) and three "polar bodies" from oogenesis (meiosis).
Meiosis produces eggs, called ova. Ova are produced in the ovaries.
In females, mitosis occurs during fetal development and continues until birth, with the majority of oocyte development halted in prophase I of meiosis. Meiosis resumes during the menstrual cycle, with one oocyte completing meiosis I and being ovulated each month, while the rest remain in a dormant state. Meiosis ultimately stops in females at menopause, which typically occurs around the age of 50, marking the end of reproductive capability.
This process is called meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
In females, one functional ovum is produced at the end of one complete cycle of meiosis. Meiosis I produces a secondary oocyte, and meiosis II forms a mature ovum (egg cell) after fertilization.
At the end of meiosis II, four haploid cells form. Haploid means they have only one set of chromosomes. For humans, that would be 23 chromosomes.
Meiosis produces eggs, called ova. Ova are produced in the ovaries.
At the conclusion of gametogenesis in females, the end result is the production of one haploid egg cell (ovum) ready for fertilization. Gametogenesis is the process through which germ cells undergo mitosis and meiosis to eventually form mature gametes, which in females are the egg cells.

I believe they are called Polar Bodies.

At the end of Meiosis II, which is the complete end of Meiosis, you end up with four haploid daughter cells.
At the end of Meiosis II, Spermatids are formed
4 cells are produced at the end of meiosis.
Females generally lay two eggs, but sometimes one and rarely three. The eggs are cream-colored, with brown or lavender spots around their larger end.
In males, all four daughter cells will become sperm cells. In females, one of the four daughter cell gets most of the cytoplasm and will be the only daughter cell to form an egg.
