Answer 1

It originates from Baby, which was a popular romantic expression around the time of Elvis Presley. I don&#039;t know how long it had been around by then.

Answer 2

The word Babe is from the Jazzical era of the 1920s but became more popular during the Rock and Roll era.  It is a word often used in the Blues.

Answer 3

The word &quot;babe&quot; is at least 600 years old. Its first appearance was in 1312-- &quot;How this babe all bloody cried&quot;. Its meaning then as infant, or a young child..

By 1915 it was being used to mean a girl or woman in slang. &quot;She&#039;s some babe.&quot;

The 1933 edition of &quot;Who&#039;s Who in Baseball&quot; gives this explanation of Babe Ruth&#039;s nickname: &quot;The nickname &quot;Babe&quot; was originally applied to him when he joined the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. Coach Steinam, who was owner Jack Dunn&#039;s right-hand man, greeted the very young rookie when he came into the ball yard, shouting to the other players: &#039;Boys, here&#039;s Jack&#039;s New Babe!&quot;
