Paige
Meaning of Paige
Paige began life in the echoing corridors of medieval Europe, when a bright-eyed “page” dashed between stone arches carrying messages for knights; the word traces back through French to the Greek paidion, meaning “child.” Somewhere between the drawbridge and the 21st-century playground, that sprightly helper slipped off the tunic, added an extra “i,” and reinvented herself as a girl’s name with a bookish wink—think of every clean, new sheet in a favorite novel, just waiting to be turned. Americans first flirted with Paige after World War II, but she really galloped up the charts in the ’90s and early 2000s, cracking the Top 100 like a heroine vaulting onto horseback before settling into today’s comfortable, familiar middle ground. She sounds like a single crystal bell—PAYJ!—simple, swift, and impossible to miss, the kind of name that can tuck a bouquet of daisies behind one ear while plotting to run the school newspaper.
