Morvan Origin and Meaning

Morvan is an uncommon feminine name with Celtic origins, particularly associated with Brittany in France. As a feminine name, it represents a distinctive choice, as it's more traditionally used as a surname or masculine given name. The name derives from the Breton words "mor" meaning "sea" and "mann" meaning "man," though as a feminine name it takes on a more nature-inspired connotation reflecting the coastal landscapes of Celtic regions. Morvan has a strong, somewhat mysterious quality with its short, distinctive sound. Parents choosing this name for a daughter likely appreciate its unique cultural heritage, its connection to nature, and its gender-neutral quality that carries both strength and elegance.
