History & Origin

Saje is a modern respelling of Sage. The word reaches English from Latin salvia, the healing herb ('to save'), and separately from sapius, 'wise' — so the name reads as nature and virtue at once. Sage rose sharply for both girls and boys from the 1990s onward; Saje is one of several inventive spellings that followed (said 'SAYJ').

The Saje spelling is very rare in the U.S. Rare, crisp, and earthy.

Did you know? Sage carries two meanings in one syllable: the silver-green herb long used for healing, and the old word for a wise person. Saje simply gives it a fresh coat of paint.
