Origin
Meaning and origin of Logee
The surname Logee is believed to have originated in England, likely during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Old English word "logge," which referred to a small hut or cabin. This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who lived in a modest dwelling or worked as a logger or woodcutter.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire, a census-like record compiled in 1273. The entry lists a "William de la Logge," indicating that the name was already in use at that time. The "de la" prefix suggests that the family may have originated from a specific location associated with the name.
In the 14th century, the Logee surname appeared in various forms, such as "Loge," "Logge," and "Loggey," reflecting the variations in spelling common during that era. For example, the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire from 1327 mention a "Walter Loge," while the Poll Tax Returns of Yorkshire from 1379 record a "John Logge."
The name Logee has also been linked to certain place names in England, further reinforcing its geographic origins. For instance, the village of Lodge in Gloucestershire and the hamlet of Lodge Hill in Kent may have influenced the surname's development.
Notable individuals with the Logee surname throughout history include:
1. Thomas Logee (c. 1540-1592), an English Protestant martyr who was burned at the stake for his religious beliefs during the reign of Queen Mary I.
2. Elizabeth Logee (c. 1600-1675), one of the first English settlers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and a founding member of the Puritan community in Salem.
3. John Logee (1678-1742), an English farmer and landowner who owned substantial property in the county of Wiltshire.
4. William Logee (1801-1883), a British architect and surveyor responsible for several notable buildings in London, including St. Pancras Station.
5. Emily Logee (1873-1957), an American botanist and horticulturist who specialized in the cultivation of orchids and was a pioneer in the field of plant breeding.
While the Logee surname may have evolved over time and been influenced by various factors, its origins can be traced back to the historic roots of England, where it likely began as a descriptive name associated with humble dwellings or occupations related to the logging industry.
Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Logee

The bar chart below shows how Logee bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Logee surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?
No. The Census Bureau only publishes surnames that appeared at least 100 times in a given decennial Census. That means very rare surnames are excluded entirely, and a surname can appear in one Census release but disappear from a later one if it falls below the reporting threshold.

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
