Etymology
The name Roger has its roots in the Old French name 'Roger', which itself is derived from the Germanic words 'hrod', meaning fame, and 'ger', meaning spear. The name was popularized in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066, as many Norman names became common in English society. Over the centuries, Roger has maintained its popularity and has been borne by many notable figures, including scholars, athletes, and actors. In addition to the personal name, 'Roger' adopted a more specialized meaning in military and aviation communication, where it became a standard way to confirm receipt of messages. The evolution of its use in communication highlights the adaptability of language, as a traditional name transformed into a term of acknowledgment in modern contexts.
