Gage Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Anglo-French-Teut.) a Pledge [Anglo-French gage; of Teutonic orig.]
(English) One who acted as pledge for another in the courts.
The oldest copy of the so-called Battel Abbey Boll mentions a De Gaugy or Gage as having come into England at the time of the Conquest. He settled in the forest of Dean, and his descendants were ennobled. Banks, i. 89. "Modem Heralds trace the genealogy of the family of Gage, now flourishing in the rank of the peerage, from this ancient stock." Ibid. p. 87.
From Gaugy, Normandy. Ralph de Gaugy occurs there, 1180 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae). Gauchi, Gaugi, or Gaacy was near L’Aigle, Normandy. Warm de Gaacy or Wacy occurs in Bedford, 1140 (Mon. i. 326). In 1105 Ralph de Gauchi or Gaugi held a fief in Northumberland, which he had acquired by marriage. Robert de Gaugi was Baron of Slesmouth, Northumberland, 1165 (Lib. Niger), and had a brother, Roger de Gauchi, to whom King John, 1203, committed the custody of Argentan Castle and Forest (Hardy, Rot. Norm.). William de Gaugi, his son, of Northampton, was father of John de Gaugi, who in 1260, with Petronilla, his wife, paid a line in Essex (Roberts, Excerpt.), and in 1269 he occurs in Suffolk (Hunter, Rot. Select. 221). Roger Gaugi, 1324, was returned from Suffolk to a great Council at Westminster (Parliamentary Writs). John Gage, of this family, settled in Gloucestershire, from whom descended the Viscounts and Baronets Gage.
From the Swedish, Gagge; from the Flemish, Gegers; a personal name See Cage.
