Morgan

Morgan is a Welsh name derived from the Old Welsh elements mor, meaning sea, and cant or gen, meaning circle, completion, or bright, giving an overall sense of sea-born or sea-bright. It was borne by several early Welsh princes and saints, cementing its prestige in Celtic cultures, and is also associated with the legendary enchantress Morgan le Fay of Arthurian tradition. The name spread beyond Wales into broader English use and later became popular in the United States as both a masculine and feminine given name. Related forms include the Irish Muirgen and the Breton Morgen.
