Baby will definitely make an impression with this witchy Welsh girl's name. Morgane, a French variant of Morgan, means "sea circle," "great circle," “sea dweller,” or “born of the sea.” It mainly comes from the Old Welsh name Morcant, made up of mor, meaning "sea," and cant, meaning "circle." The moniker 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.
