Meaning:Savior
"Salvator is a masculine title and the Latin and Roman form of Salvador. This moniker can be used as a first or last name, though it is sometimes spelled with an extra -e. Deriving from the Latin word salvātŏr, Salvator means ""savior,"" referring to Jesus Christ, Christianity's Messiah. The belief that Jesus died to save humanity is one of the most significant Christian teachings, so perhaps you'll appreciate this name's religious connections. Salvator's closest variant, Salvatore, will be instantly recognizable to The Vampire Diaries fans, as it is the surname of the brother protagonists Damon and Stefan."
