Pegge is an unusual and distinctive given name of English origin, derived from the Old French personal name Pégue or Pégu. It was a popular name during the Middle Ages, often used for both boys and girls due to its unisex nature. However, over time, Pegge has become more commonly associated with females. The name is believed to have originated from the Germanic elements 'pag' meaning 'path' and '-ge', a suffix indicating association or belonging. Therefore, Pegge could potentially be interpreted as "one who belongs to the path.
"Pegge experienced fluctuating popularity throughout the decades, with notable peaks in the late 1940s and early 1950s."
