Roger is associated with the meaning “Famous spear” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Roger comes from the Germanic elements "hrod" (fame) and "gar" (spear), combining into a name meaning "famous spear" or "renowned warrior." The name arrived in England through the Norman Conquest of 1066, when French-speaking Normans brought their version, Rogier, across the Channel. It quickly took root in medieval England, where it became one of the most common names among nobles, knights, and common folk alike. By the 12th century, Roger was practically everywhere in English-speaking lands.
