10: Morgana MacDermott -New Name (NP)

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Spelling (Morgana MacDermott) most important.

Morgana is the feminine form of the Latinized male given name Morganus, which is dated to 1234 s.n. Morgan in "Given names from the Llandaff Episcopal Acta, 1146-1286" by Constanza of Thamesreach (https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/constanza/llandaff.html).

M'Dermott, which becomes MacDermott for registration per the September 2013 CL (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2013/09/13-09cl.html#2), is an Anglicized Irish surname with dates from 1585 to 1601 found in "Names Found in Anglicized Irish Documents" by Mari ingen Briain meic Donnchada (http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnglicizedIrish/Masculine.shtml).

Women can use Mac- style bynames in Anglicized Irish [Clare O Tarran, 1/2012 LoAR, A-An Tir].

The Welsh Morgana and the Anglicized Irish MacDermott are in the same naming pool, per SENA Appendix C.
