Morgan's Popularity in 2011: #75

Morgan has long been a traditional Welsh male name whose most notable female antecedent is Morgan le Fee, King Arthur's half sister and a famed sorceress in Arthurian legend. In this country, Morgan is now used more for girls than boys, though considerably lower than its Top 25 status in the 1990s.

And alhough it's been veering south for both sexes, we still find Morgan a sophisticated choice. Fee reappears as a sorceress in Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

Morgan's Popularity in 2011: #539

Morgan, once split evenly between the sexes, is a strong and attractive Welsh favorite, still a common boys' name in Wales-- that has to a large extent gone over to the female side in the U.S., though it's still a perfectly viable choice for a boy.

Distinguished actor Morgan Freeman is a worthy male namesake.
