Ogier is French in Origin.
Ogier is a medieval French given name from Old French Oger/Ogier, ultimately reflecting a Continental Germanic compound with od/auð “wealth, fortune” + gēr “spear.” The meaning is commonly rendered “wealth-spear” or “prosperity-bearing spear.” Latinized in records as Ogierus or Ogerius, it corresponds to Germanic Odger/Othger and to Catalan Otger; Oger survives as a French variant, while modern Scandinavian Holger is a traditional heroic counterpart.
The name is best known from the Charlemagne epics (the Matter of France), where Ogier le Danois - “the Dane” - appears as a celebrated paladin. That literary fame helped carry the name across northern France, Flanders, and Catalonia in the Middle Ages. Usage waned after the Renaissance, with Ogier more often preserved as a surname in France. As a given name today it remains rare but viable for revival, especially for families drawn to medieval or Francophone heritage.
