What it means
An English occupational surname for a page, a youth who served in a noble household.
Paige comes from the word page, a young attendant or servant in a medieval great house, which traces back through French to the Greek pais, 'child.' It settled as a surname and then turned into a crisp, modern feminine first name through the 1990s and 2000s. The i-spelling is the usual one for the name; Page without it is the plainer surname. Clean and one syllable.
