Morgan:

Welsh, English, Gaelic
Gender: Masculine and Feminine
Pronounced: MOR-gan
Name days: Swedish March 28
Meaning: From the Old Welsh masculine name Morcant, which was possibly derived from Welsh mor "sea" and cant "circle". As a (possibly unrelated) feminine name it was used by Geoffrey of Monmouth for the Arthurian sorceress Morgan le Fay.

It will surpise many people to learn that the common given name Morgan is entirely unrelated to the Arthurian Morgain. The Welsh given name Morgan derives from a hypothetical Common Celtic Moricantos, with the first element probably meaning "sea" but the second element uncertain. It appears in Old Welsh as Morcant (pronounced "mo:r-GANT"), in Early Medieval Welsh as Morgant (pronounced "MO:R-gan", the "t" is most likely silent by this time), and in later Medieval Welsh as Morgan, the same form it has in Modern Welsh.

In pre-modern records, the name Morgan is always masculine. It had a modest popularity in medieval Wales, neither one of the favorite names nor particularly rare. In the 20th century, the name is commonly used in the USA by women as well as men. I don't know whether this is also true in Britain. Modern Welsh name books still consider the name exclusively masculine.

At various times, the origin and meaning of the name has been popularly misinterpreted. During the Puritan period it was misunderstood as meaning "sea-born" (the same meaning as Morien) and it was used to translate the name Pelagius in the Book of Common Prayer. In the 16th century there are examples of the name as a surname being spelled Morgaine or Morgayne in English contexts, which may be due to a confusion with the literary name Morgain. This name was in ordinary use prior to 1600, but only as a man's name

The name of Morgan has given you sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things in life. You can enjoy reading, study, and contemplation about many different subjects. When your interests or curiosity are aroused, you work intensely at new undertakings, but your interests often wane when you encounter drudgery and monotony, with the result that you leave many things unfinished.

Your name has taken you into many bitter experiences. The greatest lack in your life is stability and peace of mind. A peaceful and quiet environment, especially out in nature, is one of your greatest desires, but you are constantly taken into chaotic conditions. Because you have high ideals and are a principled person, you have been disillusioned and disappointed in people on many occasions and have experienced much aloneness. Although the name Morgan creates an interest in the deeper aspects of life, we emphasize that it causes a restless intensity that defies relaxation.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the heart, lungs, bronchial area, and solar plexus.
