Names (personal, company)
English term or phrase: Morgan
My daughter's name is Morgan and was wondering if there is a Hebrew word to represent her name (Morgan).
Todd
Hebrew translation:ים
Explanation:
If I take the meaning/origin of Morgan from Wikipedia:
"The surname Morgan is claimed to be of Welsh origin, meaning "borne from the sea", I can suggest Hebrew names which also refer to the sea:

Yam (sea)
Yamit (of/from the sea, "maritime")

Hoping that was useful.

disagree  Eynnat: Highly unlikely. I would not rely on Wikipedia for serious research. If you look at Welsh sources, you'll see that this is probably confusion between Morgan and Pelagius. Cf. http://www.data-wales.co.uk/morgname.htm

Explanation:
That's the transliteration:

mem - vav - resh - gimel - [final] nun

With such a beautiful name, I would just transliterate it (which is the usual practice, anyway - unless it's a Biblical name with an original Hebrew form, or something whose meaning is well-known, like 'Pretty' and suchlike).
