The history of the last name Loggin

The surname Loggin is of English origin, with roots dating back to the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old English word "logge," which referred to a small wooden building or hut, often used as a temporary shelter or dwelling.

The name is thought to have originated in the counties of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, where it was initially associated with individuals who lived in or near such log structures. The earliest recorded spelling of the name is found in the Hundred Rolls of Leicestershire from 1273, where it appears as "Rogerus de la Logge."

In the 14th century, the surname Loggin began appearing in various historical records, including the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire from 1327, which mentions a "Willelmus atte Logge." This variation, "atte Logge," suggests that the name was initially used as a descriptor for someone residing near a log hut or structure.

One of the earliest known bearers of the Loggin surname was John Loggin, a landowner and farmer mentioned in the Court Rolls of the Manor of Wakefield in Yorkshire in 1379. Another notable individual was William Loggin, a merchant and freeman of the City of London, who was recorded in the City's records in 1432.

The name Loggin also appears in several place names across England, such as Logginscroft in Leicestershire and Logginsfield in Warwickshire, further indicating the surname's historical presence in these regions.

Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the Loggin surname. These include:

1. Thomas Loggin (c. 1550-1625), an English clergyman and author who wrote several religious texts.

5. George Loggin (1820-1892), a renowned architect and civil engineer who designed several notable buildings and structures in London during the Victorian era.
