Morgann as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Morgann

What is the meaning of the name Morgann ?

The baby name Morgann is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈmɔːrɡən/ (MOR-gan).

Morgann is Breton, Welsh in Origin.

Morgann is a modern variant spelling of Morgan, rooted in the Old Welsh personal name Morcant/Morgant, from mor “sea” plus an element variously explained as cant “circle, completion” or a birth-related root, yielding senses like “sea-born,” “sea chief,” or “of the sea’s circle.” In medieval Wales and the Brythonic world it was borne by male rulers and nobles; the surname Morgan later spread widely. The Arthurian enchantress Morgan le Fay encouraged a long-standing feminine association, and in English-speaking countries Morgan became a well-established unisex given name by the late 20th century.

With the doubled -n, Morgann mirrors French and Breton stylings; related forms include Morgan (unisex English), Morgane and Morganne (French feminine), Morgana (Romance-language elaboration), and the Welsh surname Morgan. The Irish Morrígan is etymologically separate despite phonetic similarity. Contemporary bearers may choose Morgann for a distinctive yet familiar look while retaining the sleek Morgan pronunciation.
