Jagger is an English surname from northern England, where a jagger was a "carter" or "peddler" who moved goods by packhorse. As a first name it is inseparable from Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, which gives it a rock-and-roll edge that American parents began to pick up in the 2000s. Jagger entered the top 1000 in 2007, peaked at number 556 in 2012 and has drifted down since, ranking 885th in 2025.
