Sergejs
The Latvian spelling of a Slavic name, servant at its root: the final -s is what fits Sergei into a Latvian sentence. Only about 160 men in Poland carry it, so most people here have never met one.
Sergejs Pronunciation
Sergejs is pronounced SER-geys (/ˈsɛrgɛjs/).
What Sergejs means
Where Sergejs comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Sergejs grows from a Slavic root that means servant, in Polish sługa. It sits in the family of Siergiej and the Polish Sergiusz, and its final -s marks a Baltic spelling. In Latvian civil records a man's given name ends that way, so Sergei is written Sergejs on the page.
The meaning is plain: servant. In older usage a servant was someone bound to a household or a lord and trusted with its running. That sense rests under the name without announcing itself.
Poland keeps the relative Sergiusz on the calendar, with name-days on 8 September and 7 October. Picture the class register, a teacher reading down the column and pausing at Sergejs, the -s doing the grammar that fits a Slavic name into a Latvian sentence. The root stays Slavic and the ending Baltic. The meaning holds: sługa.
