Serguei Origin and Meaning

The name Serguei is a boy's name.

Serguei is a masculine name that represents the Russian variation of Sergey or Sergei, which ultimately derives from the Latin name Sergius. The name has ancient Roman roots, originally believed to come from a Roman clan name that may have meant 'servant' or 'guardian'. Serguei gained popularity throughout Russia and Eastern European countries, particularly after being borne by notable figures in Russian history and culture. While the more common spelling in English-speaking countries is Sergei, the Serguei variation maintains closer ties to certain regional pronunciations. The name evokes images of Slavic heritage and often carries connotations of strength and dignity. In Western countries, it remains relatively uncommon, giving it an exotic appeal.
