It is believed to derive from a diminutive form of the given name "Lemay," which itself is a variation of the Germanic name "Laimund," meaning "protector of the land." The name likely originated in Normandy and spread throughout France over time. As with many surnames, variations in spelling may exist due to historical transcription practices and regional dialects. The lemmaige surname is not among the most common in France but can be found in various regions. It is also present in countries with a history of French migration, such as Canada (particularly Quebec) and the United States.

Its presence today is primarily found within family lines that have carried the name through generations.
