  4. Leger

    • Description:

      Leger is a masculine name with French origins, derived from the Latin name Leodegarius, meaning 'people's spear' or 'light-bearing.' It gained prominence through Saint Leger (or Leodegar), a 7th-century bishop and martyr in France. Throughout history, the name has been more common in French-speaking regions and among families with French heritage. Leger has a sophisticated, elegant quality typical of French names while remaining relatively uncommon in modern usage. The name carries connotations of light, wisdom, and noble heritage. In North America, it sometimes appears as a surname that has transitioned to first-name usage, maintaining its distinctive French character.
