Sava (name)

Sava (name)

Sava is a common male personal name in south Slavic languages. Perhaps the most famous example is the Serbian medieval prince turned monk Saint Sava. [citebook|title=History of Christian Names|author=Charlotte Mary Yonge|year=2004|publisher=Kessinger Publishing|id=ISBN 0766183211] In Bosnia Sava could also be a female name, a result of the tradition of naming female children like rivers – in this case, after the river Sava.
