Savil is in Origin.
Savil is an uncommon given name with two chief origins. In the British Isles it functions as a surname-derived forename from Savile/Saville, a medieval Yorkshire habitational surname, denoting someone of Savile. The given-name use appears sporadically from the 19th century onward, especially in England and later in other English-speaking regions. Surname variants such as Savile, Savill, and Saville sometimes inform the given name's spelling.
In Slavic contexts Savil can reflect a clipped or Anglicized form of Russian Savely/Saveliy, ultimately from the Hebrew Sha'ul, 'asked for' or 'prayed for,' transmitted via Greek and Church Slavonic. This line links the name to the biblical Saul and to Eastern Orthodox naming traditions. Related variants include Savel, Savely, Savelii, and diminutives such as Savelka. Meaning therefore depends on origin: either a locative surname sense (from Savile) or the theophoric 'requested of God'.
Savil is far from common. In all, it turns up just 33 times, across 14 countries.
