Sergey

Meaning of Sergey

Rooted in the venerable Roman gens Sergia and carried forward into Slavic tongues, Sergey (Russian ser-GAY, Ukrainian ser-HAY) literally means “attendant” or “servant,” yet it resonates with an understated nobility that transcends its etymology. Its association with revered Orthodox saints lends historical depth, while its modest but steady appearance in U.S. birth records—peaking at 29 newborns in 2000 and generally hovering between ranks 759 and 935 over the past three decades—reflects quiet perseverance rather than a passing craze. Like a composed river flowing beneath the clamor of modern trends, Sergey conveys intellectual rigor and warm reliability; parents drawn to its cross-cultural flair will appreciate the name’s analytical elegance and the dry wit it subtly bears—a discreet nod across traditions and generations.
