I believe that "Sage" is also a term for a wise man.

Etymology for sage, as in wise:

Middle English, from Old French, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin sapius, from Latin sapere to taste, have good taste, be wise; akin to Oscan sipus knowing, Old Saxon ansebbian to perceive

Etymology for sage (Salvia officinalis), the plant:

Middle English, from Middle French sauge, from Latin salvia, from salvus healthy; from its use as a medicinal herb.

a sage isn't just an herb. It is also a wise person, especially one who is popularly known for said wisdom. 'nuff said.
