Pagett is English in Origin.

Pagett is an English surname-turned-given name, ultimately from Norman French. It derives from Paget, the diminutive of Page, meaning "little page" or "young attendant," a court servant. Page itself came via Old French from Medieval Latin pagius and Italian paggio, related to Greek paidion "child," giving Pagett a sense of youthful service and courtly grace.

In England the name appears from the 12th century as a family name, notably borne by the Tudor statesman William Paget, 1st Baron Paget, and later the Paget/Marquess of Anglesey line; the double-t spelling Pagett is a recognized variant. As a given name it emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries through the English practice of adopting surnames as first names, used occasionally for both sexes but chiefly masculine. Close variants include Paget, Padgett, and Padget; rarer feminine forms like Pagette occur, while related choices are Page and Paige.
