Sage is a herb traditionally valued for its medicinal and culinary properties, symbolizing wisdom, protection, and clarity. In various cultures, sage has been held in high esteem not only for its practical uses but also for its spiritual significance.

The name has appeared in various historical texts and records, although it is relatively less common than some other names derived from its root. Its use in medieval Italy and throughout Renaissance literature further solidified its association with wisdom.
