Morgana is Welsh in Origin.
Morgana is the feminine form of Morgan, ultimately from Old Welsh Morcant. The elements are commonly read as mor “sea” + cant “circle, completion,” or alternatively mor + gen “birth,” yielding meanings such as “sea-born” or “belonging to the sea.” The Latinized/Romance form Morgana spread through medieval literature and became standard in Italian and later other European languages.
The name is inseparable from the Arthurian enchantress Morgan le Fay: Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Vita Merlini (c.1150) calls her Morgen, while later French and Italian romances popularized the spelling Morgana. From this tradition comes the term Fata Morgana for the shimmering mirage over the horizon. As a given name, Morgana saw modern revival in the 19th–20th centuries and is now most familiar in Italy, Portugal, and occasionally the English-speaking world. Related forms include Morgan (unisex), Morgane (French), Morgaine (literary), and the variant spelling Morganna.
