The history of the last name Loger

The surname Loger originated in France during the medieval period. It is believed to be derived from the Old French word "logier," which means "to dwell" or "to reside." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who lived in a particular place or worked as an innkeeper.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Loger can be found in the Domesday Book, a survey of land ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The name appears as "Logerius," which was likely the Norman French spelling.

In the 13th century, there are records of a family named Loger residing in the village of Sauveterre-de-Béarn, located in the former province of Gascony in southwestern France. This region was known for its rich agricultural lands and vineyards, indicating that the Loger family may have been involved in farming or viticulture.

During the 14th century, a man named Jean Loger (c. 1310-1380) was a prominent merchant and landowner in the city of Bordeaux. He is mentioned in several historical documents related to trade and property transactions in the region.

In the 15th century, a French soldier and military leader named Pierre Loger (c. 1420-1492) fought in the Hundred Years' War and was knighted for his bravery on the battlefield. He is known for his role in the Siege of Orléans, where he served under Joan of Arc.

Another notable figure with the surname Loger was François Loger (c. 1550-1622), a French architect and engineer who worked on several significant projects in Paris during the Renaissance period, including the Pont Neuf bridge and the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Over time, the surname Loger underwent various spelling variations, such as Logier, Logere, and Logerot, as it spread across different regions of France and Europe. Some of these variations may have been influenced by local dialects or the adaptation of the name to other languages.
