- Origins Available:
 England
The Renger surname in England is thought to have arisen from two distinct sources. It evolved from the Norman personal name Reinger, or Rainger, which is composed of the Germanic elements "ragin," meaning "advice," and "ger," meaning a "spear." It also evolved from Old English "hringanas," meaning "a ring" and from the Middle English "ringen," meaning "to ring," an occupational name for a maker of rings, or perhaps for a bell ringer. 1 2 Early Origins of the Renger familyThe surname Renger was first found in Suffolk where Hugo le Ringere was listed in the Curia Regis Rolls of 1207. Richard le Wringar was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1327. 3 Richard Renger was lord Mayor of London (1222-1226) and again in 1238.
