Sagen is English in Origin.

Sagen is a modern English unisex given name, most often a creative respelling of Sage. As a word-name, Sage draws from two streams: the adjective meaning “wise,” from Old French sage and ultimately Latin sapere “to know,” and the aromatic herb, from Latin salvia “healer.” Together they lend Sagen connotations of wisdom, clarity, and restorative calm.

Sagen also appears as a Scandinavian surname from farmsteads called Sagen, typically near a sawmill (Norwegian sag “saw” + definite -en). In German, the word Sagen means “legends,” and is also the verb “to say,” which adds a subtle storytelling aura, though these are linguistic echoes rather than direct name origins. As a given name, Sagen has circulated in North America since the late 20th century, fitting the rise of nature, virtue, and surname-style choices. Variants and related spellings include Sage, Saige, Sayge, Saegen, and, by sound, Sagan.
