Meaning & origin
Paige entered the U.S. naming records in 1915 and reached its peak popularity in 1995. Since 1994, its usage has been falling, reflecting a shift away from stylish surnames of that era. In 2025, the name ranks 346th, with about 1 in 1,818 newborn girls receiving the name. Paige has historically been most popular in states like Montana, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, which aligns with its preference in New England and the northern plains. As a surname-turned-first-name, Paige follows the pattern of occupational names like Taylor and Carter, though it has maintained a distinctly feminine association.
Paige originated as an occupational surname for a page, a young attendant or servant, from Middle English 'page' (ultimately from Greek 'paidion', meaning little child). It began use as a given name in the late 19th century and gained popularity in the 20th century, especially in the United States.
