Meaning & Origin of Sergius
Origin: Latin (Roman nomen, possibly Etruscan).
A common claim: Sergius is often glossed as meaning 'servant' or 'attendant' (linking it to Latin servus). Actually: That link to servus is a folk etymology; scholars treat Sergius as an old Roman family name of uncertain, probably Etruscan, origin unrelated to the word for servant.
