About Gage
Gage was part of the craze for one-syllable surnames, with associations to tasty green gage plums and the mathematical gauge.
Gage was first noticed as a character in Stephen King's Pet Semetary--though Gage Creed was far from an admirable role model. That book was published in 1983, and the movie came out in 1989, the very year that Gage hit the Top 1000.
Gage has spawned a couple of successful spelling variations, so don't be surprised to run into a Gaige or a Gauge.
Gage is also given to girls.
Pronounced GAYJ.
As of October 2026, Gage ranked #973 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #136 in 2003, Nameberry popularity #420.
