Mauger is a Norman surname of Germanic origin (possibly meaning 'council-spear'〔Percy Hide Reaney, ''The origin of English surnames'', p. 138. Routledge & K. Paul, 1967.〕). It was used first as a given name in the Middle Ages. pronunciation API : French () (Old French ()) ; English (). == Etymology == The second element of the name ''-ger'' is from Germanic ''gari'' "spear" (see Roger, Gerard, etc.), while the first element ''Mau-'', is a short form for ''Madal-'', which is ultimately from Germanic '' *maþl-'' "assembly, council" (Old High German ''mahal'', Anglo-Saxon ''mæðl'' "council, assembly").〔Theo Vennemann, ''Preference laws for syllable structure'' (on line) ()〕〔Studies in Runic Origins 1: Germanic * maþl-/ * mahl- and Etruscan ...In the handbooks, a Common Germanic *mapl- is programmatically reconstructed on .... results from later anaptyxis, as in *mapl > OHG, OS onomastic Madal-. journals.cambridge.org/article_S104082070000233X, T. Markey - 1998〕 The Old Norman form was ''Malger''. In fact, it could recover an Old Scandinavian given name, like many other Norman first names (Anfray, Angot, etc.) in the Middle Ages. The Old Norse form for ''madal'' was ''mál'' "speech, law-suit" and the given name was perhaps '' *Málgeir'', which has survived as ''Málgeir'' in Icelandic, if it is not a new created name. The Old Danish nickname ''Malti'' could be related to it, as a short form of the Germanic names beginning with ''Madal-''.〔(Nordic Names : etymology of ''Malti'' )〕 The given name ''Malte'' originates from it. In the old documents, it was latinized different ways such as ''Maugerius'', ''Malgerius'', ''Maldegarius'', ''Madalgarius''. Old French ''Malger'' and Middle French ''Maugier'' are often found. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mauger (French name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
