The literal sense is servant, attendant, or devotee, especially one attached to a teacher, deity, or household.

In South Asian usage, Sevak appears among Hindu, Sikh, and Jain communities, where seva denotes service in religious and communal settings; Sewak is a common Punjabi/Hindi spelling. In Armenian contexts, the name became especially recognizable through Paruyr Sevak, the twentieth-century poet’s pen name, and through the Western Armenian spelling Sevag.
