Ranger
Ranger may mean a keeper, guardian, or soldier who ranges over a region to protect the area or enforce the law ("range" meaning "travel around an area"). In Britain, the term has long been associated with a keeper of a royal forest or park. Likewise, in the US the term has meant a warden employed to maintain and protect a natural area, such as a government forest or park. Since at least the 17th century, the term has had the military meaning of a commando or guerrilla soldier proficient in raids and ambushes . Sports teams have been avid in adopting the mystique of the name.
