Sargis (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a masculine given name and surname that is used in both Armenian[1] and Assyrian[2] 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,[3][4] popularizing the name in the language amongst liturgically Syriac speaking communities since at least the 4th century. The name (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".), meaning Saint Sargis, is also used for Assyrian churches in both the Assyrian homeland[5] and diaspora.[6]
