Wagon maker or driver
Derived from the Germanic word 'waganari', this name originally served as an occupational surname for someone who built or drove wagons. It is most famously associated with the 19th-century German composer Richard Wagner. In the United States, it is a rare choice for a first name, carrying a sophisticated, surname-as-first-name appeal.
