ArchivesRe: PLEASE HELP - SERGEI
in reply to a message by Justin
This name has never been common in English speaking countries, but I would assume that if English speakers wanted to name a child after the original saint, they would probably use the Latin form, Sergius.
There are plenty of men in the USA named Sergio, the Spanish and Italian form.
It is possible that some Russian immigrants named Sergei have used Charles as an "equivalent", but this would be one of those traditional equations which is not based on etymological meaning, such as the Irish use of Jeremiah for Diarmaid.
