Saville is English in Origin.
Saville is an English surname-turned-given name of Norman French toponymic origin. It derives from a place name formed with Old French ville, “farm, estate; settlement,” attached to a personal name or topographic element now obscure; the sense is “the Savil(e) estate/settlement” or “dweller from Saville.” The name reached England with the Normans and took root especially in Yorkshire, where the Savile/Saville family became prominent. As a first name, Saville remains rare and refined, with a tailored, aristocratic aura.
Use as a given name emerged in Britain in the 18th–19th centuries through the practice of adopting family surnames. Spelling variants include Savile, Savill, and Savill(e); Seville is a separate surname linked to the Spanish city but is sometimes confused with Saville. Short forms such as Sav and Ville occur. Pronounced SAV-əl or sə-VIL, it is used for boys and, occasionally, girls.
