Re: Origin of Savion
in reply to a message by lac
I, literally, just replied to a question regarding 'Zavien' and assumed it had some connection to 'Savion.' That name has perplexed me from the moment Glover burst on the scene.I suppose a possible Latinate origin could come from Severinus, Sabinus or Xavier.Though to my eye, the Hebrew origin seems most promising.

I thought of another origin for Savion (although not the origin used by Mr. Glover). On another website, I found the name Savius listed as an ancient Roman cognomen. Savian would just be the elaborated version of Savius, like Julian from Julius. I know now that Glover derived his name from "savior", but he accidentally created a name that could have ancient Roman roots. Does anyone have any idea what Savius means in Latin?
