What is the meaning of the name Serg ?

Serg is Latin in Origin.

Serg is a modern clipped form of Serge/Sergei/Sergio, all tracing back to the Roman family name Sergius. The name’s exact meaning is uncertain, likely of Etruscan origin, though medieval Latin speakers linked it to servare “to save/guard,” giving rise to the folk sense “protector.” Its endurance owes much to Christian tradition: the soldier-martyrs Sergius and Bacchus were widely venerated, and several popes and saints named Sergius spread the name across the Mediterranean and Slavic worlds.

International variants include Sergey/Sergei (Russian; diminutives Seryozha), Serhii/Sergiy (Ukrainian), Siarhei (Belarusian), Sergiusz (Polish), Sergiu (Romanian), Sergio/Sérgio (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Serge (French), Sergi (Catalan), and Sergo (Georgian); rare feminine forms appear as Sergia. In contemporary English use, Serg functions chiefly as an affectionate nickname or streamlined given name, appealing for its brief, assertive sound while preserving ties to a broad, pan-European naming tradition.
