The above spellings are all spelling given to Thomas Ogan's pronunciation of his name and interpreted by various persons recording his name. A first generation immigrant, he spoke with an Irish brogue, with a guttural catch between the first and second syllable.
Our OGAN surname has been spelled all those ways above. We prefer OGAN, the most accepted spelling. It is derived from O’hOgain, which in Gaelic means "a young man" more specifically, "a young man of the fourth age." The middle vowel is a soft vowel, often misunderstood.
