Meaning & origin
Morgann is an uncommon spelling variant of the more popular Morgan. First recorded in U.S. births in 1979, it reached its peak rank of 14,942 in 2001 and has since fluctuated, though it has been rising since 2022. About 1 in 321,453 babies were named Morgann in 2025, reflecting its rarity. The name's modern spelling with a double 'n' sets it apart from the traditional Welsh form, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a familiar name. While lacking top state concentrations, Morgann fits a broader trend of surname-style and gender-neutral names popularized in the late 20th century.
Morgann is a spelling variant of the traditionally Welsh name Morgan, derived from the Old Welsh 'Morcant', composed of 'mor' meaning 'sea' and 'cant' meaning 'circle' or 'completion'. As a feminine name, it gained some use in the United States in the late 20th century, possibly influenced by the popularity of Morgan. The variant spelling with a double 'n' is a modern respelling, more common in the United States than in Wales.
