Morgann is a girl's name meaning "circling sea," "sea defender," or "sea-born." It's related to the gender-neutral Welsh and Old English name Morgan. As a boy's name, Morgan is derived from the Old Welsh boy's name Morcant. It comes from two elements, mor, meaning "sea," and cant, "circle." As a girl's name, however, Morgan and Morgann come from the Arthurian sorceress and sometimes half-sister of King Arthur, Morgan le Fay. The feminine variation comes from Morgen, an Old Welsh name.
