Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Serhij je ukrajinská podoba mena Sergius, odvodeného od starorímskeho rodového mena Sergius. Do východoslovanského prostredia preniklo cez grécke Sergios a cirkevnoslovanskú tradíciu. Samotný význam rímskeho mena nie je spoľahlivo objasnený; jeho základ sa niekedy pokladá za etruský.
