Savior Origin and Meaning

The name Savior is a boy's name meaning "rescuer; redeemer".

Weight, spiritual, and ambitious word names have become increasingly popular in recent years, with Messiah, Saint, and Chosen in the US Top 1000. Savoir feels a natural progression, and indeed, the name nearly doubled in use between 2022 and 2023.

Associated with dangerous rescue missions and heroism, with Jesus Christ and redemption, Savoir was given to nearly 80 babies in a recent year. It is a bold choice and a lot to live up to, but it has the saving grace of sounding similar to more traditional choices like Salvador or Sylvester, or the more recently popular Sawyer.
