Archiveswhat's this name mean
Hey
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the meaning of my daughters name.
Her name is Morganne. The male form would probably be Morgan, but when she was born
I liked the feminine and chose to add a ne at the end to incorporate "anne". Pronounced
Morg---anne Brittany. Also my other Daughter has the name Ciara Lauren, the pronounciation
is Sea-air-ah Lorren. Could someone help me with this one also?
Thanks.

My daughter is also called Morganne. Her father is French and we live in spain. I wanted something a little different and was desperate for a girl! Hence - in French, "Je suis morganne de toi" meaning in English "I'm crazy for you".

Morganne has the same meaning as Morgan--that is, it's originally Welsh. This site has the meaning listed as:
From the Old Welsh name Morcant. It possibly means "sea circle" from Welsh mor "sea" and cant "circle".
As for Ciara-it's one of the many modern American variations of Sierra (also Siara, Cierra, Ciera etc.). Sierra is a Spanish word that means "saw."
as fir Brittany and Lauren : you can find links to them by clicking on them here.

Hey,
I was trying to find out what origin, and what meaning my first name, Taryn, has. I always thought it was Irish. But then someone told me that it was of Greek origin. Also my middle name, Walsh, is unusual.
Perhaps someone could help me out.
Thank you.

Taryn
I don't know what Taryn means, but Walsh is a somewhat common surname which, if I remember my Ethnic Studies professor correctly, means Welsh, i.e., someone from Wales. It is somewhat common in Ireland and Great Britain (Scotland, Wales, England, etc.). I think, perhaps, Australia and other former British colonies have Walsh as a common surname, but I may be wrong about that.

Taryn
Hi,
taryn is a modern American name. I think it was first used in the 1950s by the actor Tyrone Powers and Linda Christian, his wife. They might have made it up. It's a modern American coinage at any rate, based on names like Tara, Darren, Karen, etc.

Norah is probably correct. In this context, Taryn is considered a variation upon Tyrone. But there's a very old Celtic name Taran, from the god Taranis, Celtic equivalent of Thor or Vulcan.
Taran in this context means "thunder", and I think I'd claim that connection before I owned up to "Tyrone" (which means "Eoghan's land" in Irish).
We create our own mythologies...
