Srđan

This name derives from the Latin “(Servus > Servĭus) > Sergĭus,” meaning “servant, slave.” The name of a Roman patrician family, Sergia (or Sergii), originally from Alba Longa, who, according to legend, could have descended from the Trojan Sergesto. Lucius Sergius Catiline belonged to this family. Saints Sergius and Bacchus were 3rd-century Roman soldiers who are commemorated as martyrs by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches. Sergius of Radonezh was a spiritual leader and monastic reformer of medieval Russia. The feast day is on October 7. Resafa (Arabic: Reṣafa), known in Roman times as “Sergiopolis” and briefly as Anastasiopolis, was a city located in the Roman province of Euphratensis, in modern-day Syria.
