Logan

The Scottish Gaelic meaning of Logan is "little cove" or "small hollow". The Irish meaning is "meadow". I LOVE this name but for a boy only.

This name is Scottish, meaning: 'small hollow'.

May mean 'little hollow' in Scottish Gaelic, but as a given name, it also serves as the Scottish and English form of Ludwig.

Modern English form of Ludwig derived from a Scottish surname. Serves a direct replacement for Lewis (LOO-is), but not for Louis (LOO-ee, not LOO-is).

There are two translations for Logan. One is very common meaning a hollow in the land, be it rugged mountain or grassy glen and is Laggan. The other Loughan and if people do some digging it means Spear. It's a warriors name.

Celtic/Irish Gaelic origin-a word which means lovely meadow.

Logan, like Loegan and Loegaid and Leucain and perhaps later Lucien may be of Celtic origin: Some of these names appear in the Irish legend of the Ulster Cycle: the father and the charioteer of the hero Cuchulain are named Loegaid and Loegan or Laeg. These names come from the Celtic god Loeg or Lugh or Lugus.

As far as I remember the name is not only Scottish. Clan Logan was a long time ago split up and the name didn't really exist any more. But people from both Ireland and Scotland went together after a few hundred years and remade Clan Logan. Wherefter it became one of the biggest clans in the whole of Ireland and Scotland.
