      The name Morgause originates from Welsh in the context of Arthurian Romance, a genre of literature that centers around the legendary King Arthur and his court. While the origins of many names in this folklore are known and bear specific meanings, the meaning of Morgause remains unknown. It is worth noting that in Arthurian legend, Morgause is often depicted as a sister of King Arthur and the mother of the villainous knight Mordred, adding intrigue and complexity to her character.

      In terms of historical usage, Morgause's presence is primarily limited to Arthurian literature and the retelling of these tales throughout the centuries. Her character has been explored in various forms, including poems, novels, and films. However, outside the realm of Arthurian legend, there appears to be little to no mention or utilization of the name Morgause in historical or contemporary contexts. As such, it can be deduced that the name Morgause remains associated primarily with the world of Arthurian Romance, serving as an intriguing and mysterious character within this mythological tradition.
