Meaning & Origin

Fewer than 232 Americans have ever been named Paije. It first appeared in SSA records in 1991 and peaked modestly at 19 births in 1995 — rare enough to be distinctive, with just enough history to feel grounded.

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

Paije is a girl's baby name of Old French origin, a phonetic variant of Paige, from Old French page meaning 'page boy' or a young assistant in a noble household. Paige became a popular American girl's name in the 1980s–90s.

Paije's -ije spelling gives the familiar Paige a more unusual, visually distinctive form. It carries the same clean, easy confidence of Paige in a spelling that makes it uniquely personal.

EtymologyShow more

Paije first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 1991. First appearing in the 1990s, Paije emerged during a period of rapid naming innovation in America, when parents increasingly created new names or adopted them from global cultures.

Its Old French classification suggests a path from old french linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
