Kaige is Chinese, English in Origin.
Kaige is a modern cross-cultural given name. In English contexts it often reads as a creative blend of Kai with the surname-first-name Gage, linking it to meanings such as sea (Kai, in Hawaiian and other traditions) and pledge or oath (Gage, from Old French gage). In Chinese, the pinyin name Kaige commonly represents 凯歌, “triumphant song” or “song of victory,” used both as a given name and in compound names.
The name shows little attested use before the late 20th century, but it has surfaced modestly in North America and other English-speaking regions alongside the rise of Kai and Gage; it remains rare and largely masculine, though technically unisex. Variant spellings and cognates include Kage, Cage, and Gage; related forms are Kai. Common short forms include Kai. A Japanese lookalike, Kage (影), means “shadow,” but is a distinct name and spelling.
