[Surname] Re: I want to know the meaning of the german surname Ruger. PLEASE HELP!!!
Hi Tiffani,

there's a German surname Rüger:

1) from the first name Rüdiger, a newer form of the Old German first name Hruotgar which means honour + spear.

2) from the Middle German occupation name "rüegære" which means plaintiff

and a German surname Ruge:

1) Low German name from the Middle German word "ru/ruw" meaning hairy, shaggy

2) from the Middle German word "ruowe/ruge" meaning silence, rest, peace

3) in Southern Germany this can be a form of the surname Rüger (1)

If you want to use Ruger as a first name, it would be a form of Rüdiger (which is the same name as Roger). There is an Italian form "Rugero".
