What is the meaning of the name Alge ?

The baby name Alge is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AL-jee or AL-juh (approx. IPA: /ˈæl.dʒi/ or /ˈæl.dʒə/).

Alge is Germanic in Origin.

Alge is a multicultural given name with two main sources. In Lithuanian, Alge (often written Algė) is a feminine form or short name built from the Baltic element alg- “reward, earnings,” found in names like Algirdas and Algimantas; it conveys senses such as “rewarded one” or “earner of wealth/fame.” In English contexts, Alge functions as a clipped pet form of Alger or Algernon: Alger derives from Old German Adalger “noble spear,” while Algernon comes from Norman French “with whiskers/moustached.”

Documented in the late 19th and 20th centuries, Alge appears sporadically as an independent given name, more often as a nickname, especially in the US and UK. Variants and related forms include Algė, Algee, Algie/Algy, Alger, Algernon, Algis, and Algirdas. Meanings therefore range from “reward, earnings” to “noble spear,” with the Algernon route bearing the quirky “moustached” origin.
