Male Ukrainian name (Сергій)
Serhii (Ukrainian: Сергій) is a male name of Latin origin, traditionally interpreted as «distinguished» or «highborn». It entered Ukrainian culture through the Byzantine Christian tradition and has been one of the most common male names in Ukraine for centuries.
The name derives from the Roman gens Sergius, one of the oldest patrician families of ancient Rome which, according to legend, traced its origins to Trojan myth. The precise etymology is uncertain; «distinguished» or «high-ranking» is the most common interpretation. In Christian tradition the name became established through the veneration of Saint Sergius, an early martyr who suffered in Syria under Emperor Maximian (c. 303 AD), and later through Saint Sergius of Radonezh (14th century). It entered Kyivan Rus through the Greek reception Σέργιος. Today Serhii remains one of the most popular Ukrainian male names, especially among generations born in the second half of the 20th century.
From Latin Sergius — the name of an ancient Roman patrician gens; the precise root is uncertain, traditionally interpreted as «distinguished» or «highborn».
