Patronymica Britannica (1860)

PAGE. Properly a young male servant — a subordinate personal attendant of gi-eat men. It is curious that the Gr. Ilaic, the Lat. puer, the Fr. gar07i, and the Eng. buy, signify equally 'boy' or 'servant;' and 2)0(16, from whate'er source derived, has the same double meaning. According to Cotgrave, a iage is " a waiting or serving lioy (in France, where he hath often good breeding, he ought to be a gentleman borne); thence also a tayler's boy, a ship boy."
