Hoagy

Hoagy is a masculine name that became famous thanks to the American composer, actor, and musician Hoagy Carmichael. As a diminutive of the last name Hoagland, Hoagy is an American name with Old Norse roots. Hoagy means “high land” or “hill farmstead” and is a variant of the Swedish Högland, Norwegian Haugland, and Dutch Hoogland. Hoagy boasts a perfect blend of American and Northern European charm with a touch of quirkiness, as the name can also refer to a delicious type of hero sandwich.
