Loggins
A surname that likely began as a patronymic or nickname form of a short name such as Logan or Lough.
The #6,630 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 60,432 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Loggins is most likely a surname formed with the English diminutive or patronymic ending -ins/-ings, attached to a short personal name. It may have developed from Logan, a name of Gaelic origin, or from a similar nicknamed or shortened form used in English-speaking areas. In some cases, surnames of this type can also reflect an older place-based or descriptive nickname that was later regularized as a family name.
History
The surname is found mainly in English-speaking countries, especially the United States, where it appears to have taken shape from earlier British or Irish naming patterns. Because no direct dictionary entry was available here, its exact starting point is uncertain, and different Loggins families may not share a single origin. The modern spelling is likely a later fixed form rather than the original source name.

Fun fact
Surnames ending in -ins often look simple, but they can hide several different older names that converged into one modern spelling.
