Can pagan be a derogatory term, but it depends on the audience. The word’s formal meaning is just “polytheist,” although in more colloquial language, it’s also used to refer to someone who is immoral or hedonistic. Why are there two meanings for certain words?

I would avoid using pagan to portray a more Christian person, as a general rule, than people who are familiar with pagan names, but don’t necessarily identifie with pagan sources. Both are moral issues. If one is writing for an academic audience, there would be a way to utilize that as a synonym to keep the piece from sounding repetitive.
