Gervasi
Gervasi Origin and Meaning
Gervasi is a masculine name with Italian and Latin origins. It derives from the ancient Roman name Gervasius, which may have meant 'spear servant' from Germanic elements. The name has historical significance through Saint Gervasius, who was martyred in Milan during the 2nd century alongside his twin brother Protasius. Gervasi is predominantly found in Italian-speaking regions and communities with Italian heritage. While never achieving widespread popularity globally, it has remained in consistent, though limited, use throughout Italy, particularly in regions with strong Catholic traditions. The name carries a dignified, classical quality with its ancient roots and saintly associations, appealing to parents seeking a name with historical depth and distinctive Mediterranean character.
