History & Origin
Caige is a modern American respelling of Gage, a name from Old French gage, a 'pledge' or 'measure.' It appears in United States records from around 1991 and reached its small high near 2010. Given to only a couple dozen boys a year, this spelling never became common.
A boy named Caige near that peak is still young, part of the wave that made short, punchy boys' names fashionable. It is a variant rather than a revival, and parents who like the sound usually reach for the standard Gage instead.
