Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Mager family history? Mager is an ancient Norman name that arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Mager comes from the Norman given name Mauger. The name indicates one who is the son of Maugier, an Old French personal name, which is derived from the Old Germanic name Malger, which means council spear.A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Major, Mauger, Magor, Maior, Mayer, Mayor, Mager and others.
