Serge (play /ˈsɜr/) is a male given name, particularly common in France, Belgium; as Sérgio in Portugal and Brazil; and as Sergio in Italy, Spain [1] and Spanish-speaking Latin America. The less common female version is Sergine. The name originates from the Roman nomen (patrician family name) Sergius, and this from a more ancient Etruscan name.

The Armenian male given name Sarkis, is believed to have descended from Sergius, a variant of Serge.

Сергей (transliteration: Sergey or Sergei Russian pronunciation: [sərˈɡʲɛj]), is a male given name, very common in Russia because of the popularity of the Russian Orthodox saint Sergius of Radonezh. It is also used in Bulgaria. There is no corresponding female version of this name. The diminutive form of this name is Серёжа (transliteration: Seryozha Russian pronunciation: [ˈsʲɪˈrʲɵʐa]).

The name Сергей was especially popular in Russia in the 1980-s, when it was second only to Alexandr.

Сергій (transliteration: Sergiy or Serhii Ukrainian pronunciation: [sɛrˈɦij])) is a male given name in Ukraine. The diminutive form of this name is Сергійко (transliteration: Sergiyko or Serhiyko Ukrainian pronunciation: [sɛrˈɦijkɔ]).
