Meaning & Origin
A surname
Gaige is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old French origin, a variant of Gage, from the Old French gage (pledge, security), meaning 'pledge' or 'to pledge' — the act of giving security for a promise, a name of commitment and honor.
With over 4,400 recorded births, Gaige is the alternate spelling of Gage — giving the name a slightly different visual character while preserving its sound. Gage has been one of America's most popular contemporary boys' names, with its one-syllable punch and the weight of a medieval promise behind it. The -ai- spelling of Gaige gives it a more distinctive written form that has found considerable favor with American parents.
