Rodger Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Old English Hrothgar was reinforced at the time of the Norman Conquest by French Roger, from the corresponding Old German Hrodgar, compound of hrothi ‘fame’ and gairu ‘spear’. Rogerus is frequent in Domesday Book, and Roger was a favourite throughout the Middle Ages. Together with its nicknames Hodge and Dodge, it gave rise to a multitude of surnames, e.g. Roger, Rogers, Rodger, Rodgers, Hodge, Hodges, Dodge, Hodgkins, Hodgkiss, Hotchkiss, Hodgkinson, &c. The colloquial use of Hodge to denote an agricultural labourer is an indication of the former frequency of the name. After falling into desuetude in the 18th at.d 19th C (though it was always used in some families), Roger has now regained some measure of favour. Rogerus, Rogerius Regesta Regum Anglo-Normannorum 1071-5, Domesday Book 1086, Curia Regis Rolls 1186-1230, Hundred Rolls 1273, Yorks Poll Tax of West Riding of Yorkshire 1379 1379. Rotgerius Regesta Regum Anglo-Normannorum 1088-91.
