What is the meaning of the name Morgane ?

The baby name Morgane is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /mɔʁ.ɡan/ (French: mor-GAN).

Morgane is French in Origin.

Morgane is the French and Breton feminine form of Morgan, a name deriving from Old Welsh Morcant. The first element mor means “sea”; the second is debated - cant “circle/edge” or a later folk link to geni “to be born” - yielding readings such as “sea circle” and the popular “sea-born.” The maritime sense suits its Breton use and reinforces a cool, elemental image.

The form Morgane gained currency in medieval French through Arthurian romance, where the enchantress Morgan le Fay appears as la fée Morgane, cementing the spelling and a mystical aura. In modern France it rose sharply from the 1980s into the 1990s, remaining familiar but less peaked today, and it also occurs in Brittany. Related forms include Morgan (English/Welsh, often unisex), Morgana (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Morgaine (literary English), and Morganna. Nicknames range from Mo to Gane in contemporary use.
