Early Origins of the Ogier family

The surname Ogier was first found in Italy. Documents show that this surname existed in nearly every part of Italy, both north and south. In the north, spelling variations of Ogier which end in "i" are the most common, especially in Lombardy. In the south, the variations which end in "o" are more prevalent, and the name appears most frequently in and around the city of Naples. The name is composed of the Germanic elements "audha," meaning "power" and "gaiza," meaning "lance." The name could have been adopted from a now unknown Germanic personal name, or it may have been given to someone who was excellent at jousting.
