Serge is in Origin.

Serge is the French form of the ancient Roman gentilicium Sergius, probably of Etruscan origin and thus of uncertain meaning. Scholars have proposed links to Latin servare “to keep, preserve” or servus “attendant,” and occasionally to sergere “to rise,” yielding suggested senses such as “guardian” or “servant,” though none is definitive.

The name spread in late antiquity through the cult of the soldier-martyrs Sergius and Bacchus, securing a long life in Eastern Christianity and the Slavic world. French usage rose in the mid-20th century, notably borne by singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, ballet innovator Serge Lifar, and Nobel physicist Serge Haroche. International variants include Sergey/Sergei (Russian), Sergej (various Slavic languages), Serhii/Serhiy and Sergiy (Ukrainian transliterations), Sergi (Catalan), Sergio (Italian and Spanish), and Sérgio (Portuguese). Diminutives include Russian Seryozha/Serezha; feminine forms appear as Sergia and French Sergine.
