	Morgan Name Origins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I feel as though Clan Morgan came first and that any attachment to Clan Mackay was by name alone as the name Morgan, in its various forms, was quite popular for many centuries in Scotland.
		'Clan Morgan' was for long the title of the Mackays of the Reay country who later became Clan Aoidh, and it is probable, though perhaps not demonstrable, that there was close connection between them and the Aberdeenshire Morgans.
		The origin of the Clan Mackay remains uncertain but it is generally believed they were early connected with Moray and there derived from the Royal House of MeacEth, Mormaers of Moray, through a cadet of Morgund of Pluscarden.
