An English surname repurposed as a given name, 'Adger' likely derives from Anglo-Saxon roots with possible connections to 'edge' or 'sharp.' As a first name, it carries a masculine, somewhat vintage feel reminiscent of mid-20th-century American naming trends. It has a crisp, strong sound appealing to parents seeking uncommon classic-style names.
