What is the meaning of the name Sas ?

The baby name Sas is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /sɑs/ (Dutch: "sahs"); /ʃɒʃ/ (Hungarian: "shosh"); /sæs/ (English adaptation: "sass").

Sas is Dutch, Hungarian, Slavic in Origin.

Sas is a compact, unisex form with several origins. In Dutch and Frisian, it functions as a familiar diminutive of Saskia, a name linked to the Saxons and often glossed as “Saxon woman” or simply “Saxon.” In parts of Northern and Central Europe, Sas also appears as a clipped pet form of Sasha/Sacha (from Alexander/Alexandra), carrying the meaning “defender” or “protector.” In Hungarian, Sas is a lexical given name and common surname meaning “eagle.”

As a call-name, Sas has circulated in the Low Countries through the 20th century and is occasionally used as an independent given name today. Related forms and variants include Saskia, Sasha, Sacha, Sasja, Saša, and the Hungarian Sas. Usage spans both genders, prized for its brisk, one-syllable sound, cross-linguistic familiarity, and layered meanings from “Saxon” and “defender” to the bold imagery of the “eagle.”
