Morven

The meaning of Morven is derived from the word ‘mor’, which means ‘huge’, and ‘bhein’, meaning peak or heights. It is used differently across several countries, cultures, and languages. It has also appeared in the Ossianic poems where the name Morven is used as the name of the kingdom of Fingal. The name Morven has its own uniqueness in the Ossianic poems as the name Morven is described subtly and beautifully by the popular Scottish writer and poet James Macpherson. James used the name in the most epic, royal, glorious, and honorable forms, which eventually became quite popular among the general public, and kept this name for their newborn baby girls. In another way, the name Morven is also used to describe the hills and mountains in Caithness and Aberdeenshire in Scotland, which used to cover up the entire country of Scotland. In the Celtic and Gaelic folklore, the name Morven is given another fascinating description as the ‘child of the sea’, ‘one who is living by the sea’ or Mhorbhairne, which means the Sea gap or the waves of the Sea. Morven is also the name of a very popular actress Morven Christie.
