Savil

Though it's styled slightly differently, the masculine name Savil shares Savile and Saville's French connections. A habitational title brought to England by the Normans, Savil originally described those who came "from Sainville," a northern French town that got its name from the French elements saisne, meaning "Saxon," and ville, meaning "settlement." With the definition of "Saxon settlement," Savil's translation likely refers to a time when the Saxon people occupied the town of Sainville. While this moniker's creation is a French feat, in England, it's most associated with Savile Row, a London street where you'll find the finest bespoke tailoring establishments. Perhaps sweet Savil will grow into a dapper tiny tot, who has the right outfit for every occasion!
