Rogers

Rogers originated as a Germanic surname meaning 'famous spear' from the elements 'hrod' (fame) and 'ger' (spear). As a masculine given name, it represents a surname-to-first-name transition, a common naming pattern in English-speaking countries. Most prevalent in England and America, Rogers peaked in popularity during the early-to-mid 20th century. The name carries associations with dependability and traditional masculinity, while also connecting to the longer form 'Roger.' Today, Rogers appears more frequently as a family name than a given name, making it somewhat distinctive as a first name choice. Its classical sound and surname quality give it a professional, established character that balances formality with familiarity.

Rogers is also given to girls.

Pronounced RAH-jurz.
