Meaning and background
The story behind Paige
Paige began as a first name taken from the surname Page, associated in English with a young attendant or servant. This is an occupational name history, not a claim that every modern Paige has a service role or character trait. The added *i* changes the conventional spelling more than the sound. Paige is a familiar one-syllable human name that transfers easily into everyday calls to a dog.
