Elgar

Elgar is a charming baby name that is most commonly used in the Christian religion and is given to babies of a specific gender. Its primary origin is Old English, and the meaning of Elgar is 'spearman',' 'shining spear', or 'elf-spear'. The name Elgar has its origins deep under the mists of old British history when the Anglo-Saxon tribes still inhabited the area. It comes from a series of biblical surnames that all mean 'the son of Eggar' or 'the son of Agar' and it has been passed down through generations. Elgar is an alternative to the personal name Algar, which was used in the 'Domesday Book' and was quite prominent for many centuries. Other variations of the name Elgar include Elger and Eagar. This name is commonly used for a specific gender. Several notable people in the world bear this name. Among them is the late Sir Edward William Elgar, an English song composer. As a result of his work quality, he was given the position of Master of the King's Musick in 1924. Another well-known person to bear this name is Dean Elgar, a cricketer for South Africa who competes in both ODIs and tests and is the current captain of the test team. He famously captained the Under-19 Cricket World Cup that was held in Sri Lanka in 2006, and he presently plays for both the Northerns cricket team and the Titans cricket team in the main cricket championships in South Africa.
