What is the meaning of the name Sargis ?

The baby name Sargis is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /sɑrˈɡis/ (SAR-gees).

Sargis is Armenian in Origin.

Sargis is the Armenian form of the Roman family name Sergius, likely of Etruscan origin, transmitted via Greek Sergios and Syriac. Its precise meaning is uncertain; Armenian tradition often reads it as “protector” or “attendant/servant,” reflecting the martial and service associations attached to the early Christian bearers of the name.

Anchored in the cult of Saint Sargis the General (Zoravar), a 4th‑century martyr, the name has been widely used across Armenia and the diaspora, with a winter feast day that in popular custom honors lovers and youth. Western Armenian and Levantine communities favor the spelling Sarkis; Georgian usage preserves Sargis, seen in medieval nobles such as Sargis Jaqeli. Common nicknames include Sako and Sarko. Cognates and related forms across languages include Sergius, Serge, Sergei/Sergey, Sergiy, Sergio, Sergiu, and Sergij, making Sargis a culturally resonant yet distinct Armenian choice.
