Meaning & Origin
Serj is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, an Armenian and Eastern European form of Serge, from the Latin Sergius — a Roman family name of uncertain meaning, possibly related to the ancient Etruscan or meaning 'servant.'
Serj Tankian, the Armenian-American musician and frontman of System of a Down, is the name's most prominent contemporary bearer — an artist known for his operatic voice and passionate political activism. The -j spelling is the Armenian transliteration of the name. With over 20 recorded U.S. births, it has genuine presence in Armenian American communities.
