But, your repeated use of "Lagin" in your post got me to wondering if Logan
could have been derived from Lagin (I know a Lagin surname exist). Do you
know the meaning and/ or source of the term "Lagin"?



I'm not sure I've ever read anything on the derivation of Lagin. It was a
name used by the annalists for the kings and chieftains of Leinster (derived
from Lagin). I'd have to recheck O'Rahilly to see if he gave a derivation.

For Logan, McLysaght lists a couple of possibilities:

1. Norman De Logan
2. Scottish Logan (Lagan, McLagan)
3. Irish O Leoghain, a variant of O Leochain, of Westmeath and later Galway.
