Savon, derived from the Latin word 'sabum', meaning soap, is an uncommon given name of Latin origin. It is believed to have been used as a given name by some ancient Roman families who were connected to the soap-making industry. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages in Europe and has since remained relatively obscure, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child.
"The name Savon experienced a brief peak in popularity with 15 births in 1993, but has since seen a steady decline, with the most recent years showing only 5 or 6 births each."
