Hogan (surname)

Hogan is an Irish surname. If derived from the Irish Gaelic, Ó hÓgáin, it is diminutive of Og meaning "young". If it is derived from Cornish, it means "mortal". This youthful definition of the name is also reflected in the Welsh, where Hogyn means stripling.

The name has been further Anglicized to the form "Hagan" in Northern Ireland.
