Hogan
Meaning of Hogan
The name Hogan is of Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic surname "Ó hÓgáin," which means "descendant of Ógán." The name Ógán itself is a diminutive form of "óg," meaning "young" or "youthful." Pronounced as HOH-guhn (/hoʊˈɡən/), Hogan carries connotations of vitality and youthful spirit. While not exceedingly common, Hogan has seen sporadic use in the United States over the years, with its popularity peaking in the early 2000s. In 2023, it ranked 3978th with 27 occurrences. The name Hogan often evokes associations with strength and resilience, partly due to its historical roots and notable figures such as Hulk Hogan, the famous professional wrestler. Variations of the name include Hogen, offering a slight twist on this classic yet distinctive choice for a baby boy's name.
