Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Circling sea or great brightness; Bright sea dweller

Baby will definitely make an impression with this witchy Welsh girl's name. Morgane, a variant of Morgan, means "circling sea," "great brightness," and "bright sea dweller," and comes from the Old Welsh name Morcant, made up of mor, meaning "sea," and cant, meaning "circle." The name is perhaps most well known from the sorceress Morgane le Fay of Arthurian legend. This enchantress is commonly shown as the half-sister of King Arthur and a benevolent protector who, in some stories, becomes the immortal queen of Avalon. Baby won't need to be a history buff to appreciate the cool story behind their name.
