Morghanne is Breton, Celtic in Origin.
Morghanne is a modern, elaborated spelling of the Celtic name Morgan/Morgane. The root is Old Welsh Morcant, from mor “sea” and cant “circle, completion,” yielding senses such as “sea-circle” and, by later interpretation, “sea-born” or “of the sea.” In Breton and French the feminine form Morgane became standard; Morghanne reflects that model while inserting a decorative gh and an -anne ending to emphasize a feminine look. Arthurian tradition (Morgan/Morgane le Fay) lends the name a sorcerous, mythic aura.
In medieval Wales Morgan was firmly masculine, borne by rulers like Morgan Hen and Morgan ap Owain, and it later spread into English as both surname and given name. From the late 20th century it turned strongly unisex, peaking for girls in the 1980s–1990s in North America while Morgane rose in France. Rare variants include Morghan, Morgaine, Morgana, and Morgen; the base form Morgan remains most common.
