There is no saint Saveliy in Orthodox menologium, but there is one saint named Savel (Савел), which is presumably the older form of this name. Saint Savel was martyred together with his brothers Manuel and Ismael in Chalcedon in 362. They are venerated on 30th of June.

The theory about Saveliy being a derivation from Saul seems to be wrong. Sorry, my bad.
