What Does the Name Page Mean?
Page is an English name used as a given name through the surname Page and the vocabulary word behind it. The word comes from Middle English page, meaning a young servant or attendant, especially a boy who served a knight or another person of rank. Middle English took the word from Old French page, which carried the same sense of a boy servant or attendant.
The deeper origin of the Old French word is uncertain. One explanation traces it through Italian paggio to Latin pagius, a servant. Another links it to Greek paidion, a little boy, the diminutive of pais, meaning "boy" or "child." Neither derivation is settled, and the word may have reached the Romance languages from another source entirely.
The unrelated English word page meaning a leaf of a book descends from Latin pagina and has no connection to the servant sense, despite the identical spelling.
Page Name History & Origins
The surname Page is recorded in England from the medieval period and is also found in Scotland. It most likely began as an occupational name for someone who worked as a page, or as a status name or nickname for a young servant or attendant. Surnames drawn from a person's work or station were common in medieval England.
As a first name, Page is a transferred use of that surname, and it can also be read simply as a word name. It has been used for both boys and girls in English-speaking countries, though it has appeared most often since the twentieth century, in keeping with the broader English-language practice of turning surnames and ordinary words into given names. The spelling Paige, an anglicized form of the same surname, has become the more familiar form for girls. In Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, Page is the surname of a family, a literary use of the word rather than its origin.
