Servais

Servais is the French form of the Latin name Servatius. Saint Servatius was a 4th-century bishop of Tongeren (now in Belgium), who is venerated as a patron saint of Maastricht and other cities. His feast day is May 13th. The name's meaning directly relates to the Latin verb 'servare', meaning 'to save' or 'to serve', reflecting a sense of devotion or service.

The name has historically been more common in regions influenced by the cult of Saint Servatius, particularly in parts of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. While not widely popular globally, it retains a traditional and somewhat rare charm, often found in families with historical ties to these regions or a reverence for the saint.
