Where did the English Page family come from? What is the English Page family crest and coat of arms? When did the Page family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Page family history?

The name Page comes from one of the family having worked as a server or personal attendant to a Lord or nobleman. Occupational names that were derived from the common trades of the medieval era transcended European cultural and linguistic boundaries. Occupational names have remained fairly common in the modern period. This is attested to by the continuing appearance of occupational suffixes at the end of many English surnames. Some of these suffixes include: herd, monger, maker, hewer, smith, and wright.

Many variations of the name Page have been found, including: Page, Paige and others.

First found in Sussex where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
