he name Morgan is a boy's name but may also be used for girls. It is Welsh and Old English in origin. It is pronounced as ' Morr-gen' and it's meaning is 'circling sea, great brightness, bright and white sea-dweller'. The meanings probably refer to King Arthur's sister, Morgan Le Fay's magical machinations. The female usage become more common in the 1980's probably due to the rising popularity of actress, Morgan Fairchild.

∙ 15y agoDo you mean what does the name Morgan mean? It comes from the Welsh, and literally translates as 'of the sea' (mor is 'sea' in Welsh, and gan means 'by, from, of' etc.) It was probably a name given in ancient Celtic times to fishing families, or to those who lived on the coast. My own surname is Morgan!!
