English: in most cases probably a variant of Agar or Ager . The name might also have arisen as a nickname from Middle English egre ‘sharp, sour’ (Old French aigre), which developed various transferred senses when applied to people, including ‘impetuous’, ‘fierce’, and ‘angry’, and is the source of the modern English word eager.
