Leger

The name Leger is usually given to boys by parents. The meaning of Leger is 'people spear'. The name has a fascinating story behind the way it came into usage and its subsequent popularity. The name's origins are from the French language, and the French name, in turn, has a German origin. The name Leger was originally from the Old German name Leodegar. It was composed of two words, ‘leud’ and ‘gari’. Leud was a term associated with the people or tribe. Gari means ‘a spear’. This translated the name literally as 'people-spear' or 'spear of the people'. The name found quite some popularity in France. This began with St. Lege, who was a seventh century martyr and served as the bishop of Autun. This saint was the primary figure behind the rising popularity of the name in France. Germany had another saint with the same name in the eighth century. Soon after, as the Norman conquest of England occurred, the name Leger came to the British Isles. When it came to England, there were two variations of the name being used, one being Ledger and the other Leger. The first time Leger appeared as a surname was in 1279 as the family name of Andrew Leger. This would occur during the reign of King Edward I, popularly dubbed Hammer of the Scots. The name appeared as surnames quite often. Following this, different versions of the name have been introduced throughout history, with one rendition being Ledger.

Lucky

Leger lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
