Alger

Alger
Alger m
English: from Old English, composed of the elements ælf elf, supernatural being + gār spear; it is possible that this form may also have absorbed other names with the first elements æpel noble, ēald old, and ēalh temple. The name was not common either before or after the Norman Conquest, but was revived in the 19th century, along with other Germanic names. It is relatively common in America, where it seems to have been taken up as a more ‘manly’ short form of ALGERNON (SEE Algernon).
