Likely a modern variation of Sava or Savannah
Savaya is a contemporary name with unclear roots, likely created as a melodic variation of the Hebrew name Sava, meaning 'old man' or 'grandfather', or the Spanish-derived Savannah, meaning 'treeless plain'. It may also be influenced by the Sanskrit name Savya, meaning 'left-handed' or an epithet of Vishnu. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a unique but familiar sound.
