Hedgar is a name of German origin, derived from the Old High German elements 'haid' meaning 'hedge', and 'ger' meaning 'spear'. It was popularized in England by the Normans after the Norman Conquest in 1066, and has been used steadily since then. Hedgar is often associated with the English writer Edgar Allan Poe, although it predates him by centuries.
"Hedgar is quite rare; there were only 7 babies named Hedgar born each year from 2003 onwards."
