Swage Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

SWAGE: Camden says, that this surname was introduced into England by a personage in the train of Isabella of France, queen of Edward II. There were, however, earlier settlements of families so named; for a knight of this designation founded the Savages in Ireland immediately upon De Courcy's invasion, temp. Henry II. Le Sauvage was a sobriquet of early times, both in Normandy and England, which implied, perhaps, a roughness of manners, like our indigenous Wild. In ancient deeds the common latinization is Salvagius.
