Hogan (surname)

Hogan is a 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.

It has been claimed that those who bear the name are descended of an uncle of Brian Boru, the Irish High King.

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