Meaning & Origin

Among U.S. girl's names, Pagen is not in the current national top 1,000. In fact, it is among the rarest names in the SSA dataset — a choice that signals bold individuality.

With records spanning 1988 to 1988, Pagen has a focused history that reflects a particular moment in naming culture rather than a centuries-old tradition.

Pagen is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.

Pagen is a boy's baby name of Old French and Latin origin, a variant of Paige or Page meaning 'servant' or 'young attendant,' from Latin pagius. The -en ending masculinizes the name with a sleek, modern twist.

EtymologyShow more

Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Pagen is rooted in the Old French tradition, but its presence in American naming since 1988 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.

Pagen’s rarity (5 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
