Sava (name)

Sava is a male personal name in South Slavic languages. Perhaps the most famous example is the Serbian medieval prince turned monk Saint Sava. In Croatia, Sava is found as a male name among the Serbs and also as a female name among the Croats, likewise in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a result of the tradition of naming female children after rivers – in this case, after the river Sava. It is also used in Romanian, where it is also a surname.
