Saige is a modern English variant of Sage, which ultimately derives from the Latin *sapius*, meaning "wise" or "judicious," and also refers to the aromatic herb used in cooking and medicine. The name gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly in North America, as a nature-inspired and virtue name. Notable bearers include American actress Saige Ryan Campbell, known for her role in the television series *The Fosters*, and Saige, the title character of the 2013 American Girl doll and book, which helped boost the name's profile. While there are no direct place connections, the herb sage is native to the Mediterranean and has been cultivated in Scottish gardens for centuries. The spelling Saige is a modern, feminine-leaning variant of the more traditional Sage, which remains unisex.
