What is the meaning of the name Serhii ?

The baby name Serhii is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /serˈɦij/ (Ukrainian); approximate respelling: sehr-HEE.

Serhii is Ukrainian in Origin.

Serhii is the standard scholarly romanization of the Ukrainian given name Сергій, a cognate of the pan-European Serge name family. The line of descent traces back to the Roman nomen Sergius, whose etymology is uncertain - likely Etruscan - so proposed meanings such as “attendant,” “protector,” or “servant” remain conjectural. Through Byzantine and Church Slavonic transmission, the name entered East Slavic usage, aligning Serhii with Orthodox Christian onomastic traditions.

Veneration of Saints Sergius (notably Sergius and Bacchus) anchored the name in medieval Kyivan Rus’ calendars, supporting its continuity in Ukraine. Popular across the 20th century, it remains familiar today. Ukrainian variants include Serhiy alongside Serhii; related forms are Russian Sergei/Sergey, Belarusian Siarhei, Polish Sergiusz, Czech/Slovak/Serbo-Croatian Sergej, Romanian Sergiu, Italian/Spanish/Portuguese Sergio, and French Serge. Diminutives appear as Ukrainian Serhiyko; in Russian tradition, Seryozha/Serezha.
