Etymology

Agger probably comes from a place name and may come from the old Latin word agger meaning 'mound' or 'earth wall', or from a Danish village called Agger. So, Agger began as a family name for people who lived by a raised piece of land or who came from that place, which is why it now identifies families, especially in Denmark.
