Morgan's origins are Celtic and its meaning is connected to the ocean. It's one of the unisex classics, like Alex. Morgen means morning in German. I think Ori and Mo are both cute nicknames.

Morgan was NOT 'originally a boys' name' it can be derived from 'Morcant' which is masculine or 'Morgen' which is feminine. If a woman is named Morgan, it comes from the feminine origin (Morgan le Fay).

The meaning my mother found for this name was "by the edge of the sea".

The name "Morgan" may also be related to the Welsh and Breton water-spirits, alternatively spelled Murgen or Mari-Morgan. There may also be a connection to the goddess Murigen, who is believed to be a specific personification of said spirit. Morgans held many similarities with other legendary water spirits, such as Greek nymphs, German Ondine, and some legends of the Celtic Kelpie.

My surname is Morgan and I have traced my ancestery to Wexford in Ireland where it originated firstly in Ireland. Before coming to Ireland the name Morgan originated in north Wales.

The origin of the name Morgan is disputed, however speaking the ancient language of Welsh myself which dates to pre-roman times of approx 1000 BC it is said to come from Mor(sea) and Can (Welsh for song) derived of (Latin/Roman influence) cantor sing or possibly 'Gan' born. Therefore sea-song or sea-born hence the later English translation of the name. Lovely innit!
