Sargis (, ; , ) is a masculine given name and surname that is used in both Armenian and Assyrian communities. The name ultimately derived from the Latin name Sergius, and is partly derived from the name's Classical Syriac form. The Armenian surname Sargsyan/Sarkisian is derived from this name. The name may also be alternatively used as Sarkis, used primarily by Armenians.


Assyrian tradition

In the Assyrian community, the name Sargis is a common veneration to Saint Sergius who was martyred in the Syriac speaking city of Resafa, popularizing the name in the language amongst liturgically Syriac speaking communities since at least the 4th century. The name (, ), meaning Saint Sargis, is also used for Assyrian churches in both the Assyrian homeland and diaspora.
