the name is derived from French and Germanic roots..my great grandfather came to Canada and then USA..he changed his name from Angier to Anger to get work as hiring folks with ethnic names and heritage was not popular..he was a mill wright by trade but was excellent carpenter and made musical instruments.. BTW, Kenneth Anger's real name is Kenneth Wilbur Anglemyer...and not a true Anger at all.
