How do you say Morgan in Maori?

There isn't a direct translation of "Morgan" into Maori.

Here's why and some options:

* Maori doesn't have a specific equivalent for foreign names. It's more common to use a descriptive phrase or a similar-sounding Maori word.

* "Morgan" has Welsh origins. The name itself wouldn't have a natural Maori counterpart.

Possible options:

* Use a similar-sounding Maori word: You could consider "Mōrehu" which means "heir" or "descendant."

* Use a descriptive phrase: You could use a phrase that describes a quality associated with Morgan, like "Tōrangapu" (meaning "leader" or "chief") or "Tāne" (meaning "man" or "warrior").

* Leave it as "Morgan" and explain the origin. This is often the simplest and most respectful option.

Ultimately, the best way to "say" Morgan in Maori depends on the context and your preference.
