logen

Logen is a masculine given name used primarily in English-language fantasy fiction. The name is most widely associated with Logen Ninefingers, a central figure in Joe Abercrombie's The First Law trilogy. The character, introduced in The Blade Itself (2007), is a formidable Northman warrior noted for his skill with a blade and a notorious past that earned him the nickname The Bloody-Nine. Across the series, Logen's wary pragmatism and shifting loyalties drive much of the narrative, and he is portrayed as both fearsome fighter and morally conflicted survivor.

In broader use, Logen has limited appearances outside this character and does not denote a widely recognized real-world concept, place, or public figure in mainstream reference works. The name is sometimes treated as a standalone fantasy-style variant of names such as Logan.
