Morrigan

Morrigan comes from Irish mythology, where the Morrígan is a powerful figure associated with battle and often with the form of a crow. The name's second element refers to a queen. Its first element has been interpreted in different ways, leading to explanations such as phantom queen and great queen.

The disagreement is connected partly with the forms found in medieval Irish texts, so neither translation should be treated as the only possible answer. Morrigan also needs to be distinguished from Morgan, the name associated with Arthurian stories: a similar sound does not establish the same linguistic origin. For parents interested in Irish mythology, Morrigan carries a particular and sometimes formidable story rather than a general royal meaning.
