Mogan is in Origin.

With more than one etymological path, Mogan can be either a streamlined spelling of Morgan or a South Asian variant of Mohan. In the Welsh tradition, Morgan descends from Old Welsh Morcant (mor “sea” + cant “circle, rim; chief”), yielding senses like “sea-born,” “sea defender,” or “sea circle.” As a clipped, modern form, Mogan appears sporadically in English-language records from the late 19th century onward and reads as a unisex choice.

Separately, in Tamil and other South Indian and diaspora contexts (notably Malaysia and Singapore), Mogan reflects local pronunciation and transliteration of Sanskrit Mohan/Mohana, meaning “charming, enchanting.” Usage there is typically masculine. Variants and related forms include Morgan, Morgane, Morgen, Mohan, Mohana, and Mohen; nicknames such as Mo work across traditions. Though rare, Mogan benefits from familiar sounds and a pan-cultural footprint connecting Celtic seafaring imagery with Sanskrit ideas of allure.
