==Origin and meaning== Hodgson is a [[patronymic surname]], thought by some to mean "son of Hodge", with Hodge being a Middle English personal name usually representing a pet-form of the name Roger.<ref>Reaney, p. 166</ref><ref>Hanks, p. 1304</ref> However, Geoffrey Hodgson shows that both distribution of the name and DNA suggest a Norse-Irish origin, making “son of Oddgeir” a more likely derivation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hodgson Ancestry |url=https://www.geoffreymhodgson.uk/hodgson-ancestry |access-date=2022-12-09 |website=www.geoffreymhodgson.uk}}</ref>
