Pagen is probably a variant of Page, from an English surname rooted in Old French for a young servant or attendant. That background gives it a social and occupational history, the kind that is common in English surnames but less common in given names.
Its appeal now lies in its compactness and surname-style strength. As a personal name, Pagen feels brisk and modern despite its older social roots. It has a clean, clipped sound that makes it easy to remember, and the spelling gives it just enough individuality to stand apart.
The name feels practical and understated, with a slight historical edge. Pagen is rare, but it has the kind of lean, surname-derived confidence that can make short names especially appealing.
