Saverio is a given name of Italian origin. It is a cognate of Xavier and Javier, both of which originate from Xabier, the Basque name for the Spanish town Javier. Xabier is itself the romanization of etxe berri meaning "new house" or "new home". However, in her 1863 book History of Christian Names, Charlotte Mary Yonge claims that Xavier is a Moorish name, coming from the Arabic Ga'afar meaning "splendid", "bright".
