Yeager

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeager is a relatively uncommon American surname, most likely a transcription of the common German surname "Jäger" (hunter) done by immigrants in order to have their name rather misspelled (see also Jaeger) than mispronounced, as in Jagger.

Some notable people with this name are:

  • Bunny Yeager, an American photographer and model
  • Chuck Yeager, an American test pilot who was the first person to break the sound barrier
  • Jeana Yeager, an American aviator
  • Steve Yeager, a major-league baseball player
  • William Yeager, best-known for his development of the first multiple-protocol router software while working at Stanford University
