Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ako mužské meno je Silver doložené najmä v estónčine, kde sa vykladá ako osamostatnená skrátená podoba mena Silvester. Meno Silvester pochádza z latinského prídavného mena silvestris s významom „lesný, žijúci v lese“. V škandinávskom a anglickom prostredí môže Silver vzniknúť aj priamo z germánskeho pomenovania striebra; jeho ďalší pôvod nie je spoľahlivo objasnený.
