Description: From the Old Welsh name "Morcant" meaning "sea chief" or "great chief". Modern form of Morgen, which was used by Geoffrey of Monmouth [1] in the 12th century for the Arthurian sorceress Morgan le Fay, who was unnamed in earlier stories. Geoffrey probably did not derive it from the Welsh masculine name Morgan, which would have been spelled Morcant in his time. It is likely from Old Welsh mor "sea" and the suffix gen "born of" [2]. Morgan is commonly used as a first name for both boys and girls, and is often used in the middle name position as well. It is also occasionally used as a surname.
