Morgan
Morgan ♂, ♀ Anglicized form of Welsh Morcant, traditionally a boy's name. In Britain since the late 1990s the name has become equally popular as a girl's name, perhaps adopted with conscious reference to King Arthur's jealous stepsister Morgan le Fay. Elsewhere in the English-speaking world, especially in North America, where it also enjoys considerable popularity, it is used predominantly for girls.
