Roger
[ˈrɒdʒər]Meaning
from the Germanic Hrodger, "famous spear"
Background Story
Roger comes from the Germanic name Hrodger, derived from the elements hruod, "fame", and ger, "spear". The Normans brought it to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate Hroðgar, and it was a common name there during the Middle Ages. It was rare by the 18th century but was revived in the years that followed, and it was popular in the English-speaking world especially from the 1930s to the 50s. A variant closer to the name's origin is Rodger.
