Rogers is English in Origin.

Rogers is an English patronymic used as both surname and given name, literally “son of Roger.” Roger entered Britain with the Normans (Old French Rogier; Latinized Rogerius), ultimately from Germanic elements hrod “fame, renown” + ger “spear,” yielding the sense “famous spear” or “renowned with the spear.” Related forms include the surname variant Rodgers, the base given name Roger, and international cognates Rogier (Dutch), Rogelio (Spanish), Ruggero (Italian), and Rogério (Portuguese); a feminine counterpart appears as Rogéria. Informal short forms include Rog and Rodge.

As a first name, Rogers appears in 18th–20th‑century Anglophone records, especially in the United States and the South, reflecting the custom of promoting a family surname to given‑name status. It enjoyed modest early‑1900s use; notable bearers include Hall of Fame baseball star Rogers Hornsby and sociologist Rogers Brubaker. Rare today, it conveys heritage, steadiness, and the brisk, tailored sound of Roger.
