What Does the Name Loghan Mean?
Loghan is a spelling variant of Logan, a name whose main origin is Scottish Gaelic, where it means "little hollow." The base is the Gaelic word lag, meaning "hollow" or "dell," joined to the diminutive ending -an, so the original sense was a small hollow or low-lying piece of ground. A separate Irish derivation lies behind some uses of the related surname: the Gaelic Ó Locháin, "descendant of Lochán," in which Lochán is a diminutive of loch, "lake." The Loghan spelling does not change the pronunciation or the meaning; it only alters the letters of the second syllable.
Loghan Name History & Origins
The name is a form of Logan, which began as a Scottish surname taken from places of that name, including Logan in Ayrshire and Logan in Dumfries and Galloway. A Scottish clan, Clan Logan, also carried the surname. In Ireland, Logan was used as an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Ó Locháin, giving the name a second, independent background in that country.
Logan later became common as a given name in the English-speaking world, first for boys and, by the late 20th century, for girls as well. Spellings such as Loghan and Lohan appear as later phonetic variants, most often in the United States. These respelled forms keep the same pronunciation as Logan and simply shift the letters of the unstressed second syllable.
