Savage

Meaning of Savage

The name Savage is a unique and bold choice for a baby boy, pronounced as SA-vij (/ˈseɪvɪdʒ/). Originating from the Old French word "sauvage," which means "wild" or "untamed," it carries connotations of strength, independence, and a free spirit. Though not commonly used, its rarity adds to its distinctive appeal. The name has seen modest usage in the United States over the past decade, with occurrences ranging from 7 to 15 newborns annually. Notably linked to the English surname tradition, Savage also evokes images of rugged landscapes and untamed nature. While its variation Savannah is more widely recognized, Savage stands out as an assertive and adventurous choice for parents seeking something unconventional yet meaningful.
