Etymology

Either from Old French page or from the same origin, from Late Latin pagius, of uncertain origin, probably from Ancient Greek παιδίον (paidíon, “boy, lad”), from παῖς (paîs, “child”); some sources consider this unlikely and suggest instead Latin pagus (“countryside”), in sense of "boy from the rural regions".
