Morgan Family History

Morgan Genealogy & Family Tree

Morgan is a Welsh name from Caernarvonshire, Wales, where the family held a seat from ancient times. It comes from the Old Welsh given name Morcant and means “sea circle” or “born of the sea.” It may be a reference to the Welsh word for water sprites, or morgans. Roots for this name can also be found in Ireland and Scotland. It is the 39th most common surname in England and the 62nd most common in the United States. The family motto is Audaces fortuna juvat which means “Fortune favors the bold.”

Other spellings include “Morgen,” “Morgain,” “Morganach,” “O Muireagain,” “Morgant,” and “Morgaine.” Notable people with the surname include American actor Frank Morgan (The Wizard of Oz), British actor Joseph Morgan (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Immortals), and American actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Grey’s Anatomy, Watchmen, P.S. I Love You). The first Morgan to come to America was Benedict Morgan in Massachusetts in 1621.
