Meaning & Etymology
English, French, Catalan
Means "famous spear" from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and ger "spear". The Normans brought this name to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate Hroðgar (the name of the Danish king in the Anglo-Saxon epic 'Beowulf'). It was a common name in England during the Middle Ages. By the 18th century it was rare, but it was revived in following years. The name was borne by the Norman lords Roger I, who conquered Sicily in the 11th century, and his son Roger II, who ruled Sicily as a king.

Life Path 9 is governed by Mars — the warrior planet — but the 9 channels Mars's fierce energy not toward personal conquest but toward the elevation and healing of the world. The vibration of 9 is the energy of completion: it is the final number in the primary cycle, carrying within it the accumulated wisdom and experience of all the numbers that preceded it. The 9 has, in a sense, already been all the other numbers — has known the 1's ambition, the 2's sensitivity, the 3's joy, the 4's discipline, the 5's freedom, the 6's love, the 7's wisdom, and the 8's power — and what remains is the integration of all of them into a compassionate, expansive, universally oriented force for good. Life Path 9s are the humanitarians, the sages, the artists who create not for personal glory but for the enrichment of the collective.
