About the name Sergio

Sergio is the Italian and Spanish form of Sergius, a Roman family name of uncertain origin, possibly Etruscan. The link sometimes made with the Latin servus, meaning servant, is a folk interpretation. The name spread in Christian times through Saint Sergius, a Roman officer martyred in Syria with his companion Bacchus, and through Saint Sergius of Radonezh, a revered Russian monk. The Italian director Sergio Leone created the classic Westerns A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Serge is the French form and Sergei the Russian.
