📖 Acerca de Roger
Roger proviene del antiguo alto alemán 'Hrodger,' que combina 'hrod' (fama) y 'ger' (lanza), con el significado de 'lanza famosa.' Los normandos lo llevaron a Inglaterra tras la conquista de 1066, convirtiéndolo en uno de los nombres medievales más comunes y dando origen al apellido Rogers. En Australia figuró regularmente entre los 100 nombres más populares desde principios de los años 50 hasta los 60. Hoy evoca un carácter clásico y distinguido, asociado a figuras como Roger Federer y Roger Moore.
