One who saves or delivers
Derived from the Late Latin word 'salvator', this name refers to a person who rescues others from harm or danger. In a religious context, it is a direct title for Jesus Christ, representing the act of salvation. While more common as a surname or title, it has seen occasional use as a bold, virtue-based given name.
