Alger
Meaning of Alger
Alger tiptoes across time like a spirited dancer at a sun-drenched fiesta. It springs from the Old English Ælfgar, “elf spear,” and shimmers with tales of enchanted forests and brave heroes. In a Spanish ear it hums like a guitar strum under the Mediterranean sky—a cheeky nod to Algiers and exotic shores. It carries a playful spark and a gentle strength, like morning light filtering through olive trees. Though it sashayed quietly through Michigan birth records in the early 1900s, Alger still feels fresh, unexpected, and utterly magnetic. This name weaves old-world magic with Latin flair, inviting every little boy who wears it to journey boldly, dream wildly, and laugh often.
