From Middle English badge, bagge, bage, bagy, whose ultimate etymology is uncertain. Possibly from Anglo-Norman bage or Late Latin bagea, bagia (�sign, emblem�); but possibly the Anglo-Norman word is derived from an earlier, unattested English word. Cognate with Scots bagie, badgie, bawgy (�badge�).
