Morghann is Welsh in Origin.
Morghann is a contemporary elaboration of Morgan, the Welsh given name from Old Welsh Morcant. The first element mor means “sea”; the second is debated - either cant “circle, completion” or gan/gen “born” - so meanings range from “sea-circle” to the widely favored “sea-born.” Breton and French traditions produced the feminine Morgane/Morgaine, while English and Romance sources also attest the Latinate Morgana.
In medieval Wales Morgan was predominantly masculine and also became a common Welsh surname. From the late 20th century it turned strongly unisex and popular for girls in the English-speaking world, helped by the Arthurian enchantress Morgan le Fay. The spelling Morghann, modeled on stylish doubles like Meghann or Morgann, is a rare modern choice that signals a feminine twist without losing its Celtic roots. Related variants include Morgan, Morgann, Morghan, Morgane, Morgana/Morganna, Morgaine, and Morgyn.
