The lodge Surname
lodge Name Meaning and History
English: local name for someone who lived in a small cottage or
temporary dwelling, Middle English logge (Old French
loge, of Germanic origin). The term was used in particular of a
cabin erected by masons working on the site of a particular
construction project, such as a church or cathedral, and so it was
probably in many cases equivalent to an occupational name for a mason.
Reaney suggests that one early form, atte Logge, might
sometimes have denoted the warden of a masons’ lodge.
