Origin of Page

  • From Old French page, possibly via Italian paggio, from Late Latin pagius (“servant"), probably from Ancient Greek παιδίον (paidion, “boy, lad"), from παῖς (pais, “child"); some sources consider this unlikely and suggest instead Latin pagus (“countryside"), in sense of "boy from the rural regions". Used in English from the 13th century onwards.
