History & Origin

Morgane is the graceful French feminine of Morgan, a Welsh name built on mor, the sea, and long tied to the sorceress of King Arthur's court. It reached American parents as a chic French import distinct from the plainer, unisex Morgan.

The spelling had a quiet run in the nineteen-nineties, cresting early in the decade. Given to only about twenty girls a year, a Morgane from that peak is now in her thirties.

Did you know? Morgane is the French form of Morgan and the name of the enchantress Morgane le Fay in Arthurian legend.
