Sergio is Italian in Origin.

Sergio is the Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese form of the Roman family name Sergius, likely of Etruscan origin and therefore of uncertain meaning. Medieval and later writers sometimes linked it to Latin servare “to protect/save” or servus “servant,” giving folk meanings such as “protector” or “attendant,” but these are speculative rather than etymologically secure.

The name gained Christian currency through early martyrs Saints Sergius and Bacchus and several medieval popes named Sergius, then spread widely across the Mediterranean and, via Byzantium, into the Slavic world. International variants include Latin Sergius, French Serge, Russian Sergei/Sergey, Ukrainian Serhii/Serhiy, Romanian Sergiu, Catalan Sergi, and Portuguese Sérgio; diminutives include Serginho and Seryozha in Slavic use. Today Sergio remains popular in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Latin America, familiar through figures like film director Sergio Leone, footballers Sergio Ramos and Sergio Agüero, and musician Sérgio Mendes.
