Etymology

The name Logonna comes from ‘Loc-Onna’, place dedicated to Saint Omma who was thought to be Saint Monna abbot of Tech Munna (Ireland). Saint Monna is now the patron saint of the village’s church.

Daoulas, the near by village, is located at the junction of two rivers, the ‘Mignonne’ and the ‘Lézuzan’. Its name in Breton means: ‘daou’ two and ‘glas’ river.
