Morgan

Morgan is a Welsh name derived from the Old Welsh elements mor, meaning sea, and can or gen, meaning circle, completion, or born of, giving the overall sense of sea-born or sea-circle. It was borne by several early Welsh princes and saints, helping to establish it as a prestigious name throughout medieval Wales and later Celtic Britain. The legendary Morgan le Fay, the enchantress of Arthurian tradition, gave the name a lasting mythological resonance. Morgana and Morgaine are among the feminine variants, while the name has spread widely into English-speaking cultures as both a given name and surname.
