Savio

Meaning of Savio

Savio, an Italian male name pronounced SAH-vee-oh (/ˈsa.vjo/), derives from the Latin sapio (“to taste” or “to be wise”) and evokes a reflective wisdom akin to the Persian concept of khirad. It is historically anchored by Saint Dominic Savio, the 19th-century Italian youth renowned for his disciplined devotion, and subtly recalls the gentle meander of the Savio River through Emilia-Romagna. In the United States, the name has maintained a quiet consistency—hovering between eight and sixteen births annually over the past decade and ranking around the 900s—indicating an understated appeal among parents who favor depth over trendiness. Neither commonplace nor ostentatious, Savio offers a balanced elegance: succinct in form yet rich in cultural and spiritual resonance.
