Morgan is both a given name and a surname, as well as the name of many places. The surname Morgan is claimed to be of Welsh origin, meaning "borne from the sea", and is a popular family name in that country, but there are a group of Morgans from "Morgund" in the North of Scotland, the name being listed as the 36th most common name in the UK, with a similar position in the USA. It is possible that the name was Celtic from the Cornovii Tribe who lived in the North of Scotland and in the Severn Valley near the Wrekin in Shropshire. The County of Glamorgan is named after the Princes of South Wales named Morgan, a group which developed into the name Leyshon.
The Morgan Society * was formed in 1994 to help Morgans trace their history, genealogy and emigration. Many Welsh families emigrated to Australia and the USA, thus many founding families in those countries carried the surname Morgan, which is reflected in a number of place names. The name "Morgen" is also prevalent in Germany and France deriving from the German for the amount of land that could be ploughed in a morning. Morgon wine is produced in the Beaujolais region of France. The name, in female form Morgana, is given to a principal in the legends about King Arthur. See also Morganic or Morganatic marriage.
