Chavi

This name derives from the Latin “salvātŏr,” which is based on the Latin verb “salvare,” literally means “the savior, the one who saves.” It is usually an indirect way of naming a Messiah, savior of humanity. Of clear religious meaning, the name comes from the translation of the Ancient Greek “sōtḗr (σωτήρ), literally savior, deliverer, the preserver. In Greek mythology, Soteria (Ancient Greek: Σωτηρία) was the goddess or spirit (daimon) of safety, deliverance, and preservation from harm. Her male counterparts were the daimon Soter and the god Dionysos Soter. The Romans named her Salus (Preservation). Soter was also the husband of Peitharchia and the father of Eupraxia. Salvador of Horta was a Spanish Franciscan lay brother from the region of Catalonia in Spain, who was celebrated as a miracle worker during his lifetime. He is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church.
