Sergio Origin and Meaning

The name Sergio is a boy's name of Spanish, Italian origin meaning "servant".

Widely heard in both Italian and Spanish households, Sergio and his many international brothers are rooted in Sergius, one of the original Roman family names. The meaning is unknown, but possibly is related to servant or protector.

Sergio has been well-used in the US since right after the second World War and still ranks among the top half of the US Top 1000 boys' names, though it has declined in popularity in recent years. In Spain and Portugal, it remains in the Top 100, while in Mexico, Brazil, and Italy, it is in the Top 200.

Notably born by filmmaker Sergio Leone, footballer Sergio Ramos, and musician Sergio Mednes, it may also be heard around the world in various forms including the French Serge and the Russian and Eastern European Sergei. There have been four Popes named Sergius along with several saints.
