The story behind the name
Meet Logan.
Logan began as a Scottish surname taken from a place name. It is connected with Scottish Gaelic lagan, a diminutive of a word for hollow, giving it the meaning small hollow.
The landscape connection is separate from its current use as a unisex first name. Logan's two-syllable rhythm and straightforward spelling make it a complete name that does not depend on a longer formal version.
