Logan, a Scottish surname-turned-given-name, was originally derived from a place name composed of the Gaelic element lag, meaning "hollow" or "pit," combined with a common suffix. It wasn't that popular in the early-to-mid 1900s, but started rising up the ranks in the 1970s following the release of the 1976 film "Logan's Run." This was also around the same time Marvel introduced Wolverine (named Logan), who started having a big role in their comics in 1974. According to the Social Security Administration, Logan was a top-200 boy's name by 1986 and has been a top-50 boy's name ever since 1996. "The Real Housewives of Miami" star Lisa Hochstein has a son named Logan Marc, born in 2015.
