Wild or untamed; from the wild forest
Derived from the Middle English and Old French word 'sauvage', which ultimately comes from the Latin 'silvaticus' meaning 'of the woods'. Originally used as a surname for someone who lived in the wild or was considered fierce, it has transitioned into a rare, edgy given name.
