Loghan

Boy name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Loghan: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2005.

The name Loghan is a modern variation of Logan, a Scottish surname turned first name derived from the Gaelic *lagan*, meaning "little hollow" or "small meadow." While few famous bearers have used this specific spelling, the more common form Logan has been carried by actor Logan Lerman, X-Men's Wolverine (whose real name is Logan), and Scottish footballer Logan Chalmers. Numerous places worldwide share the root, including Logan in Utah and Glasgow's Logan Street. As a subtle twist on a classic, Loghan maintains the same earthy, rugged feel while offering a distinct spelling that sets it apart. It has grown in popularity across Scotland and beyond, often chosen for both boys and girls.
