Morganah is Welsh in Origin.
Morganah is a rare modern elaboration of Morgana/Morganna, the feminine form of the Welsh name Morgan. Morgan stems from Old Welsh Morcant, from mor "sea" plus a debated second element, often read as cant "circle, completion," yielding meanings such as "sea-born," "sea-bright," or "of the sea’s circle." Its mythic tone is reinforced by Morgan le Fay in Arthurian legend, whose name appears as Morgana in Romance languages. In Wales, Morgan was traditionally masculine, later becoming unisex in English; the feminine Morgana/Morgane revived in 19th-century Romanticism and modern fantasy.
Morganah surfaces in late 20th century English-speaking use, shaped by the vogue for -ah endings. Though uncommon, it offers a distinctive twist on a Celtic classic. Close variants include Morgana, Morganna, Morgane (French), Morgaine (literary), and Morgan/Morganne; all retain the sea-linked meaning and enduring cultural resonance.
Morganah is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 6 times, across 2 countries.
