What is the meaning of the name Sergiusz ?

Sergiusz is Latin in Origin.

Sergiusz is the Polish form of the ancient Roman name Sergius, a hereditary family name (nomen) from the gens Sergia. Its exact etymology is uncertain and probably Etruscan; later folk explanations linked it to Latin servare "to preserve, protect" or servus "servant," which have inspired modern glosses like "guardian" or "servant," though these are not linguistically secure.

Christian veneration of the soldier-martyrs Sergius and Bacchus and several popes named Sergius (notably Sergius I) helped the name spread across Europe, especially in Slavic and Romance traditions. In Poland, Sergiusz remains uncommon but long familiar through ecclesiastical and Eastern links. Related forms include Latin Sergius; Italian/Spanish/Portuguese Sergio (Portuguese Sérgio); French Serge; Romanian Sergiu; Russian Sergey/Sergei; Belarusian Siarhei; Ukrainian Serhii/Serhiy; and South Slavic Sergej. Polish diminutives occasionally used are Serguś and Sergiuszek, and the variant Sergiej appears in Polish when referring to Russian bearers. The feminine form Sergia exists but is rare.
