The name Rudiger is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived in Rudyard, Staffordshire. The place-name Rudyard means "yard where rue was grown." Rue is a perennial evergreen shrub common in Europe with yellow flowers. The plant is psychoactive; the leaves of the shrub were used as a stimulant in the Middle Ages. The leaves were noted for their strong smell and bitter taste.The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Rudiger has been spelled many different ways, including Rudyard, Rudgard, Rudyer and others. First found in Staffordshire where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the census rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
