## Origin

Proto-Germanic *murganaz, *murginaz became Proto-West Germanic *morgan, *morgin and then Old English morgen, the ancestor of Middle English morwe and morwen. Dutch morgen and German Morgen are comparable. Morrow is a doublet of both morgen and morn. Morn and morrow both grew out of earlier Middle English morwen, morn by early contraction and morrow by the usual weakening of the -en ending.
