The Story of Logic
Logic comes from the Greek word 'logike' (the art of reason), derived from 'logos' meaning word, reason, or principle. As a given name, it is extremely rare and almost exclusively associated with the American rapper Logic (Sir Robert Bryson Hall II), who chose the name as a stage name to represent his approach to thoughtful lyricism.
Logic entered mainstream consciousness almost entirely through rapper Logic's rise to fame in the mid-2010s. His 2017 single '1-800-273-8255' about suicide prevention reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him one of the most recognizable rappers of the era.
Using an abstract concept or virtue as a given name is a tradition dating back to Puritan names like Prudence, Faith, and Hope. Logic fits into a modern hip-hop tradition of artists choosing philosophical or edgy stage names, some of which have been adopted as given names by fans.
