What is the meaning of the name Savas ?

The baby name Savas is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /saˈvaʃ/ (sah-VAHSH).

Savas is Turkish in Origin.

Savas is a masculine given name with two principal lineages. In Greek (Σάββας, Savvas), it reflects the Hellenized Sabbas, from Aramaic sabbā’ meaning “old man, elder; monk.” The name spread through the Byzantine and Orthodox world via Saint Sabbas the Sanctified (5th century), producing variants Savvas (Greek/Cypriot), Sabbas (Latinized), Savva (Russian), and Sava (South Slavic, Romanian). Greek name day: 5 December.

In Turkish, Savaş - often rendered Savas without diacritics - means “war, battle” and is a modern masculine given name and occasional surname, evoking bravery and grit. Today the spelling Savas appears in Greek and Turkish diasporas and in international contexts for ease of use. Depending on origin, the name carries either venerable, monastic associations or distinctly martial, valiant overtones.
