What is the meaning of the name Sevag ?

Sevag is Armenian in Origin.

Sevag is an Armenian masculine name, written Սևակ, built from sev (“black, dark”) plus the productive suffix -ak. In Western Armenian phonology, final -k is often rendered and heard as -g, giving the common romanization Sevag; Eastern Armenian typically keeps the spelling and pronunciation Sevak. The sense is “the dark one,” referencing dark hair, eyes, or complexion, and the form has long functioned both as a given name and as a surname.

Documented in Armenian communities across the Caucasus and the diaspora, the name gained wide recognition in the 20th century through the celebrated poet Paruyr Sevak, which helped sustain its modern use. Variants and related forms include Sevak (EA), Sevag (WA), and the family-name extensions Sevakyan/Sevakian. Short forms such as Sev occur. Despite the similar look of Indian names like Sevak (“servant, devotee”), Sevag is unrelated etymologically.
