Meaning & Origin

Payge is a girl's baby name of Old French origin, a variant spelling of Paige — from the Old French page, meaning 'young servant, attendant,' used for the young attendants who served medieval knights. This alternate spelling gives the name a more distinctive written form while keeping its familiar sound.

Paige surged in popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, appealing to parents for its clean, modern sound and its medieval occupational origin. Payge offers the same appeal with a slightly unexpected written form — the same bright, capable character in a freshly spelled package.
