Meaning and history
Paget is an English given name transferred from a surname. The surname probably developed as a diminutive of page, the medieval term for a young attendant or servant training in a noble household, though individual family histories may differ. As a first name it retains this occupational-surname background rather than a separate ancient meaning. A notable bearer is American actor Paget Brewster, known for television roles including Emily Prentiss in Criminal Minds.
