Roger is primarily a common first name of English, French, and Catalan usage, ("Rogier", "Rutger" in Dutch) from the Germanic elements hrod (fame) and ger (spear) meaning "famous with the spear". The Latin form of the name is Rogerius, as used by a few medieval figures.
The name Roger was transmitted to England by the Normans after the Norman Conquest along with other names such as William, Robert, Richard, and Hugh. It replaced its Anglo-Saxon cognate, Hroðgar. Rosser is the Welsh language equivalent.Rosser - Welsh for Roger
Radio Phraseology
main: Voice procedure In radio phraseology, "Roger" means "Message Understood" in both military- and civilian aviation radio communications. This usage comes from the initial R of received: R was called Roger in then-current radio alphabets such as the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet. It is also often shortened in writing to "rgr". R is Romeo in the modern NATO phonetic alphabet. Contrary to popular belief, Roger does not mean or imply "I will comply". That distinction goes to the acronym wilco, a contraction of the phrase "will comply," which is used exclusively if user intends to say "received and will comply." The Hollywood phrase "Roger that" is improper procedure because the extra word ("that") wastes airtime, which is often precious in critical situations.
Slang
Roger is also a short version of the term Jolly Roger which refers to a black flag with white skull and crossbones, formerly used by sea pirates since as early as 1723.
From c.1650 to c.1870 Roger was slang for the word "penis" probably due to the origin of the name involving fame with a spear.
In 19th century England, Roger was slang for the cloud of toxic green gas that swept through the chlorine bleach factories periodically.
The name 'Hodge' is a corruption of Roger and in England it was used as a colloquial term by townsfolk, implying a rustic.Book of the British Countryside. Pub. London : Drive Publications, (1973). p. 366.
