Pagin is a rare surname-turned-given name with French roots. It likely developed along two medieval channels: as a diminutive in -in from Old French Païen (from Latin paganus), meaning "country-dweller; non-Christian," or as a pet form of Page (Old French page, via Italian paggio from Greek paidíon), yielding the sense "little page," a youthful court attendant.

Records in France and Norman England show related forms such as Pagin, Pagen, Payen, and Paien, which later produced English surnames Payne/Paine and the given/surname Paget. Today Pagin remains uncommon as a first name, sometimes chosen as a streamlined alternative to Paige or Pagan. Usage clusters in France, Belgium, and francophone Canada.
