What Does the Name Morgann Mean?
Morgann is a variant spelling of the Welsh name Morgan. Morgan is generally derived from the Old Welsh personal name Morcant, a compound of môr "sea" and cant "circle" or "rim"; the literal sense is therefore often given as "sea circle." The exact force of cant in this compound is uncertain, and the common gloss "sea-born" is a customary interpretation rather than a securely established translation. The double n in Morgann is a spelling variation, not evidence of a separate origin.
Morgann Name History & Origins
As a given name, Morgann is a later spelling of Morgan. The parent name has a long Welsh history. It descends from the Old Welsh name Morcant, which is recorded in medieval Welsh genealogies and annals. Morgan was borne by Welsh rulers, including Morgan Hen, a tenth-century king of Morgannwg and Gwent. The medieval kingdom of Morgannwg - later called Glamorgan - is traditionally said to take its name from a ruler named Morgan, and that territorial name is related to the personal name rather than being the source of Morgann.
In Arthurian literature, Morgan le Fay (also called Morgana or Morgane in French texts) is a well-known figure whose name is related to Morgan. The Arthurian Morgan is female, while the Welsh personal name was traditionally masculine. Her literary fame is separate from the name's Welsh origin, but it helped carry the name into English and French storytelling. The doubled final n in Morgann is a later spelling variation; it does not indicate a different root or a separate tradition.
