Jogersen

Jogersen is a surname of Danish origin. It is a patronymic name derived from Jørgen, the Danish form of George, with the suffix -sen meaning “son of.” In this sense, Jogersen historically signified descent from a man named Jørgen and is part of a broader Danish naming pattern that includes other -sen variants.
