📖 Sobre Roger
Roger vem do alto-alemão antigo 'Hrodger,' combinando 'hrod' (fama) e 'ger' (lança), com o significado de 'lança famosa.' Trazido à Inglaterra pelos normandos após a conquista de 1066, tornou-se um dos nomes medievais mais comuns e deu origem ao sobrenome Rogers. Na Austrália, figurou com regularidade entre os 100 nomes mais populares desde o início dos anos 50 até o final dos anos 60. Hoje evoca um caráter clássico e distinto, associado a nomes como Roger Federer e Roger Moore.
