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 the name an approximate sense of sea-circle or sea-born brightness. It was borne by several early Welsh kings and princes, helping establish it as a prestigious name throughout medieval Wales. The legendary enchantress Morgan le Fay of Arthurian tradition spread awareness of the name across European literature. It functions as both a masculine and feminine name in modern use, with Morrigan as a related form in Irish mythology and Morgane as a French feminine variant.
