About the name
Logan is a Scottish place-name-turned-surname meaning "small hollow" — a sheltered dip in the land. It crossed to first-name use in America in the twentieth century and never looked back.
The name climbed steadily for decades and holds twelfth place in 2024, helped along by the Wolverine franchise giving it a certain clawed charisma. It also ranks as a quiet unisex favorite, though boy use dominates.
Logan's appeal is its balance: rugged but not rough, modern but rooted in landscape. It pairs well with classic middles (Logan Alexander, Logan Charles) that dress it up. On our vibe map it leans Nature-Inspired by etymology and Modern Minimalist by sound.
