Etymology
1. Unknown, but probably connected to Middle English lugge (“pole”), from which obsolete/dialectal English lugg, lug (“pole; measure of length ~6 yd.; measure of land ~50 sq. yd.”). Cf. also clogge (“log”), clog.
2. Ending on -g may suggest Scandinavian origin, which has been proposed, from Old Norse lág (whence Norwegian Nynorsk låg (“fallen tree”)). However, the Norse vowel is long while Middle English vowel is short.
3. Discounting 13th-century surname Log, first attested as Medieval Latin loggiandum (“woodcutting”) in 1205 (in Rotuli litterarum clausarum), then Medieval Latin loggum (“piece of wood”) in 1306 (in Muniments of Dean and Chapter of Canterbury), while in actual ME attested only since 1398. See: Middle English Nouns '
lugge', Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns '
låg'.
