Serhiy
Serhiy Origin and Meaning
Serhiy is a masculine name of Ukrainian origin, serving as the Ukrainian form of Sergius or Sergey. The name derives from the Latin 'Sergius,' which was a Roman family name possibly of Etruscan origins. Historically, the name gained significance through St. Sergius, a 4th-century Roman officer who became a martyr. Serhiy is widely used in Ukraine and has become more recognized internationally with increased global awareness of Ukrainian culture. The transliteration sometimes appears as Serhii or Sergiy, depending on how the Cyrillic letters are converted to the Latin alphabet. Though uncommon in Western countries, growing diaspora communities have brought this name to wider attention. Serhiy carries cultural pride for Ukrainian families and represents a strong masculine tradition with deep historical roots in Eastern European naming patterns.
