Morganne

Meaning of Morganne

Morganne has its roots in ancient Welsh, where it literally means “sea-born”—a poetic nod to misty shores and hidden ocean depths. With its extra “nne” it gains a gentle French flair, like a secret whispered across the Celtic coast. Over the years it has bobbed along the tides of popularity—peaking modestly in the mid-2000s and generally ranking in the high 800s to 900s—yet it’s never lost its distinctive shimmer. Pronounced MOR-gan (/ˈmɔrɡən/), it slips off the tongue with fluid ease and carries an air of quiet strength, evoking both the magic of Arthurian legend’s Morgan le Fay and the promise of new adventures. In 2013, just six little girls were named Morganne, underscoring its uniquely under-the-radar charm. Warm and timeless, Morganne invites your daughter to chart her own course—after all, how many other Morgannes will she meet on the playground?
