Logen is a masculine name that likely emerged as a variant spelling of Logan, which originated as a Scottish surname derived from a place name meaning 'little hollow' in Scottish Gaelic. This alternative spelling gives the familiar name a slightly different look while maintaining the same pronunciation. Logen has never achieved the same popularity as Logan, which became a top boys' name in the United States in the early 2000s. This spelling variation offers parents a way to use a name with the same strong, masculine sound of Logan while providing their child with a more distinctive spelling. The name has a contemporary feel despite its ancient Scottish roots.

Beyond the word, Oshen might also have links to the Hebrew name, Osher, meaning "happiness", to the Yoruba name, Oshun, meaning "flow", or to the Romani Oshanna, meaning "Hosannah".
 Musician Oshen City is a bearer of the name and "Oshenknits" is the social media handle of marine biologist and popular knitwear designer, Vanessa Fleming. 
 With spelling variations of word names on the rise, there is a possibility that Oshen could join Chozen or Journee in the charts in future years. For now, however, while Oshen was chosen for just nine boys in a recent year, Ocean was given more than twenty times that and ranks in the US Top 1000 for boys and girls.

Another theory suggests Ridgen derives from Ricdun, via Ricardun, an Old English pet form of Richard, making this a nice option to subtly honor an ancestral Richard.
