The history of the name Bodger dates back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from a member of the family who worked as a peddler who would travel buying and selling goods for profit. Another source claims the name was derived from the French word bagagier, or baggage-carrier. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
