What is the meaning of the name Saturn ?

The baby name Saturn is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SAT-urn (/ˈsætərn/).

Saturn is Latin, Roman in Origin.

Saturn is the Anglicized form of Latin Saturnus, name of the Roman god of agriculture, sowing, and measured time, later linked to the outer planet. The etymology is debated; it may connect to Latin satus “sowing/seed” or satur “abundant, sated,” and may also reflect an Etruscan source. As a symbol, Saturn evokes harvest, discipline, and cycles, and gives English its weekday Saturday.

As a given name, Saturn appears sporadically from Late Antiquity (often via the related martyr name Saturninus) and occasionally in medieval and Renaissance records; it remained rare in English, with modest 19th–20th‑century use among classicists and astrologically inclined families. Contemporary usage treats Saturn as a bold, often unisex celestial choice. International variants include Saturnus (Latin), Saturno (Italian/Spanish), Saturnino/Saturnina (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Saturnin/Saturnine (French), and Saturnin (Polish, Czech).
