The name Morgan

Usually Vivian is able to choose a name for a Hattingdon hat right away. This time it was a bit different. Finally, the name “Morgan” suddenly popped in her head. She thought . . . yes! Vivian knew it was a Welsh name, being from the UK. Look what it means.

Very Well Family tell us:

Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

The name Morgan means “sea-born,” “sea-song,” or “sea-circle.” It is traditionally a boy’s name of Welsh origin, and more specifically, a variant of the Old Welsh name Morcant which is a combination of the Welsh elements mor, meaning “sea” and cant, meaning “circle.”

Perfect. Serendipity at work.

Shiver me timbers

Ever wonder where that expression comes from? We did too. Look.

Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

In heavy seas, ships would be lifted up and pounded down so hard as to “shiver” the timbers, startling the sailors. Such an exclamation was meant to convey a feeling of fear and awe, similar to, “Well, blow me down!”, or, “May God strike me alive and well”. Source »

See you again soon.
