What does the name Logen mean?
Logen is a spelling of Logan, pronounced the same way, so it shares Logan's meaning and origin.
Logan began as a Scottish surname taken from a place called Logan in Ayrshire. The place name comes from Scottish Gaelic lagan, a small hollow or dell, built on lag, 'hollow'. Wiktionary also records Logan as an Irish surname, a variant of Lohan, so a few Logan families have a different origin. As a boy's first name it is a transferred surname, in use since at least the 1800s and, as Wiktionary notes, popular in the 2000s; girls have used it too, though far less often.

How sure is this? Probable. The Gaelic place-name root is the standard view; the exact Ayrshire place that gave the surname is not certain.
