Jaggar is English in Origin.

Jaggar is an English occupational surname-turned-given name, rooted in the Middle English jagger, a term for a peddler, carter, or packman, from northern dialect jag “load, pack.” Found across Yorkshire and other northern counties from the late medieval period, the surname marked those who transported goods between towns. As a first name it emerged much later in English-speaking countries, gaining visibility in the 1990s–2000s amid the surname-as-given-name trend and cultural awareness of rock musician Mick Jagger.

Meaning centers on trade and movement - “one who carries or hawks goods.” The most common form is Jagger; Jaggar is a recognized variant alongside rarer Jagar and the plural-surname Jaggers. Sometimes used for girls but predominantly male. Note that the phonetically similar German Jäger/Jaeger (“hunter”) is etymologically distinct. Short forms include Jag or Jags, lending the name a brisk, modern edge.
