Origin and meaning of Logan

Logan began as a Scottish surname and place name, from the Gaelic lagan, 'little hollow.' Rooted in the Highland landscape, it shifted from family name to given name and spread mainly across the English-speaking world — the United States, Canada and Scotland — where it works as a unisex pick, though it leans slightly more masculine. Parents love its short, modern sound and its rugged Celtic flavour.
