MORGAN-(boy) Morgan is an attractive Welsh name that means "born in the sea" and has in the past been used for babies born under water signs — Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio.
MORGAN-(girl) Born in the sea. A lean, silvery, and sophisticated ambigender name that began as a traditional Welsh male one, Morgan is definitely falling more and more into the girls’ side of the equation. There are ancient precedents: In Arthurian legend, Morgan Le Fay was the not very nice stepsister of King Arthur who did, nevertheless, serve as the leader of the queens who carried him away to cure his wounds. .

" Morgan is a Patronymic name of Welsh, Scot, and Irish origin -- from an old Celtic given name (Morien in Wales) composed of elements meaning sea + bright. Morgan is one of the most common, and oldest of the Welsh names. There is a Scottish Clan Morgan established in medieval times with connections to the McKays, and was likely developed independently of the Welsh surname. The Irish version is from O'Murchan or O'Morghane, from the Gaelic O'Murchain."

Morgan is a Celtic name meaning "the sea-born one". From Old Welsh MURIGENA. cf Irish "the Morrigan", the sea-born gods. MOR is cognate with words for the sea in many Indo-European languages e.g. mer (French) and mare (Latin) ~ also English mere (marsh). GAN from Gena is from the Greek via Old Welsh verb "ganet", "is born". Welsh has a number of words imported directly from Greek because classical Greek civilization abutted the Celts who were on the lower Danube in those days.
