Where did the French Rouge family come from? What is the French Rouge family crest and coat of arms? When did the Rouge family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Rouge family history?

Similar to many French family names, the distinguished surname Rouge is a proud sign of a rich and ancient ancestry. The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in France were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. The patronyms were derived from a variety of given names that were of many different origins. As well as the names of the saints of the Christian Church, many of the most common French surnames are derived from personal names of Germanic origin. They derive from the language of the Visigoths, who controlled France between the mid-5th and early 8th centuries. The family name Roget is derived from the popular Old French given name Rogier, meaning famous spear.
