History & Origin
Rogerio is the Portuguese and Italian form of Roger, from the Germanic 'hrod' (fame) and 'ger' (spear), 'famous spear.'

In the United States it appeared quietly with immigrant families through the twentieth century, keeping its warm four-beat sound.
It was never common in the United States, appearing in small numbers from the nineteen-tens onward and reaching only about fifteen boys in its best year around the late nineteen-forties. It has stayed a heritage name rather than a trend.
