Lagan is Hindi, Irish, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.
Lagan has dual roots. In Irish Gaelic, Lagán is the diminutive of lag, “hollow,” yielding the sense “little hollow” or “small valley”; it appears in place-names (e.g., Lagan Valley in Ulster) and surnames. In North India and among Punjabi/Hindi speakers, lagan (लगन/ਲਗਨ) means “devotion, heartfelt attachment,” and also denotes the auspicious wedding time in traditional astrology - giving the name a tone of zeal and auspicious commitment. The name is broadly unisex.
As a given name, Lagan is modern in Ireland and Britain, likely boosted by the popularity of the related Scottish/Irish Logan (itself historically from Gaelic lagán). In South Asia and the diaspora it has longer use as a virtue-style name. Variants and related forms include Lagán (with accent), regional toponymic Laghan, and the cognate surname Logan; note that Sanskrit lagna (“ascendant”) is conceptually related but not a direct variant.
