Name Meaning

English (Bedfordshire): habitational name from an unidentified place, perhaps in Bedfordshire, apparently called something like Lockesden. The etymology of the placename cannot be certain, but it may derive from an Old English personal name Locc (genitive Locces) + Old English denu ‘valley’.

History: A William Logsden is recorded in Somerset County, MD, tax rolls in the late 17th century.
