What does the name Page mean?
Page is a spelling of Paige, pronounced the same way, so it shares Paige's meaning and origin.
Paige is a spelling of Page, an English occupational surname for a page, a boy servant or attendant. The word came through Old French page, possibly via Italian paggio. Harrison (1918) gives "boy attendant" and derives it, probably, from Greek paidion, "little boy"; Wiktionary notes that some scholars prefer Latin pagus, "countryside". As a girl's name it is an American transfer from the surname.
