6. Rowan – It means red haired person and it’s roots come from Ireland.
7. Sloan – we got information from a site that “Sloan(e) is the anglicized form of an Old Irish clan name, from the Gaelic Ó Sluaghhadáin (descendents of Sluaghhadáin). Sluaghhadáin uses the Irish diminutive suffix “-áin” attached to the ancient Gaelic personal name “Sluaghadh” meaning “raid”. From this we can deduce that it actually means little raider. Interesting!
8. Morgan – It comes from the history of Ireland and Wales. Right now it’s more popular for girls but often enough there are boys called Morgan.
