What Does the Name Gaje Mean?
Gaje is an uncommon English spelling of the given name Gage. Gage comes from the Old French word gage, meaning "pledge" or "security" - something deposited as a guarantee. The French term is Germanic in origin and is related to the English word wed. In English, the name is primarily a surname derived from that word; its use as a first name is later, and Gaje is a respelled variant of that given name rather than a separate French name.

The surname Gage is of Norman French origin and is recorded in England from the medieval period. It comes from Old French gage, "pledge," a word that entered English after the Norman Conquest.
