Ogdan

If you're searching through valleys and climbing up trees in search of the perfect name, Ogdan may be the one for you. This rare gem has its roots in Old English and is a variant of the more familiar Ogden. Ogden comes with a splash of poetry thanks to its connection to American poet Ogden Nash, famous for his clever and light-hearted verses. This surname-turned-first-name seems to have sprouted from two cozy hamlets called Ogden in Rochdale and Lancashire. Derived from Old English āc ("oak") and denu ("valley"), giving it the combined meaning of “oak valley,” Ogdan is a moniker for the outdoorsy types and bookworms alike!
