Meaning & Story
Gage is an English surname derived from the Old French 'jauge,' meaning a measure or pledge, originally given to someone who worked as an assayer or measurer. As a given name it has a sharp, modern sound with a subtle edge. It gained recognition in the United States as a masculine given name in the late 20th century.
Gage is a sleek, modern pet name that carries a quiet intensity — the name of a companion who is always paying attention, always sizing up the situation. It works well for a sharp, athletic dog with an alert expression and a focused, intelligent temperament. The name has a two-syllable punch that is easy to call out and hard to forget. Gage feels contemporary and slightly edgy, suited to a companion with as much personality as presence.
