Etymology: "Morgans" is the plural of "morgan," a name given in honour of Thomas Hunt Morgan, the American geneticist. The singular form is the one that was named after him, and the plural follows the same pattern whenever more than one such thing is meant. The same form is also used as a family name, so "the Morgans" can refer to several people who share that surname, and it can serve as the plural of a personal or brand name.
