Origin and meaning of Salvatore
Salvatore comes from the Latin Salvator, from salvare, 'the one who saves' — originally a translation of the title given to Christ the Redeemer, and still a name of deep Christian resonance. It evokes protection and deliverance. It is especially common across southern Italy, above all in Sicily and Campania, where it passes proudly from grandfather to grandson; in the Spanish-speaking world it lives on as the equally cherished Salvador.
