History & Origin
Morganna is a spelling of Morgana, the sorceress of Arthurian romance, ultimately from the Old Welsh Morcant with its likely tie to mor, 'sea.' Parents who reached for Morganna rather than the plain unisex Morgan were almost always after that mythic, enchanted association, and modern fantasy retellings kept the figure vivid.
As a birth name Morganna was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year at its peak in the early two-thousands and to barely more than a hundred over its run. A girl named Morganna then is in her early twenties now, part of the fantasy-literature strand that also lifted Rhiannon and Guinevere.
