Ridge is English in Origin.
Ridge is a modern English given name taken from the noun for a narrow elevated crest or chain of hills. The word goes back to Old English hrycg 'back, ridge', cognate with Germanic terms for spine and crest. As a name it suggests rugged terrain and a clean, contemporary sound.
Use as a personal name grew from the English surname Ridge, a habitational byname for someone living near a ridge. It entered U.S. given-name use in the mid-20th century, gaining notice via Ridge Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful (from 1987) and the rise of nature-forward picks. Mostly masculine but not strictly gendered, Ridge has few variants: rare spellings (Rydge) and related surnames or elaborations such as Ridgely/Ridgley, Ridgel, and Ridgeway. Rigg is a cognate surname from the same root. Core meaning: ridge; crest; high spine-like landform.
