MORGANA.
Arthurian. An Italian form of French Morgán
(q.v.), from Celtic Morrigan
(q.v.), meaning "great queen."
Morgana King, an American actress and singer.
Morgana Roginson, an English actress, comedienne, and writer. (Wiki)
Morgana, Fata (It. the fay
or fairy Morgana), the name under which Morgan le Fay
passed into the Italian Carlovingian romances. In Aristo's Orlando
Furioso she convinces Arthur of the infidelity of his queen by means
of a magic horn.
In Bojardo's Orlando Innamorato (1495) she
appears as the personification of Fortune, living at the bottom of a
lake and dispensing the treasures of the earth, subject only to the
all-potent Demogorgon. In other romances she lives in the island
of Avalon and transports thither Ogier the Dane, whom she
rejuvenates. In French she is called Morgán, Morgaine, or Morgue
la Fée. The name Fata Morgana is to-day given to a curious
atmospheric phenomenon akin to a mirage which is often witnessed in the
straits of Messina and is attributed to her magic powers. (Heroes and
Heroines of Fiction, Walsh, 1914)
