Pagh

Pagh is a term with multiple, unrelated uses in language, onomastics, and culture. It does not refer to a single concept, but rather to several distinct senses across different contexts.

In the Klingon language, developed for Star Trek, pagh is a word meaning nothing or zero. It is used to indicate absence or negation and is part of the recognizable Klingon lexicon that appears in media and fan translations. As with many Klingon terms, its exact nuance can depend on grammatical context and translation practice.

As a surname, Pagh appears in Northern Europe and is found in Danish and nearby naming traditions. In onomastic studies, it is treated as a hereditary surname with regional distributions and historical attestations. People bearing the surname Pagh may have diverse occupations and biographies, reflecting general surname patterns rather than a single lineage or meaning.

Other uses of the string "pagh" are rare and largely limited to niche contexts, such as fictional works, brand names, or data set identifiers. Because it is not tied to a single widely recognized concept, each appearance of "pagh" should be interpreted within its specific context.
