Last Name ROGER

Summary/Contribute


Meaning	The son of Roger. In Domesday Rogerus, county Norfolk. Exceedingly common in the 13th century all over the country, giving us the nicknames Hodge and Dodge, and through them Hodson, Hodgkins, Hodgkinson, etc. Roger vied with Robert, John, and William for popularity for several centuries. In France, too, the name was a favourite, the French proverb for 'There is a good time coning' being 'Roger Bon Temps.' Hodge at some point became an ENglish synonym for a peasant or agricultural labourer. Once a knightly name, Roger has fallen from his high estate, and is, as Joan, ever among the poor. Peace. 'Rhu,' rest, quiet, peace, and 'gard,' a keeper; or 'Rhu-geren,' one desirous of rest; 'Rodgarus,' all counsel or strong counsel.
