Savva

Savva is a baby name commonly given to boys. The name is believed to have originated from Greek, and the meaning of Savva is 'Old man.' Some findings suggest that the name may have originated from the Aramaic word 'סָבָא sāḇā' meaning 'wise'. While other studies opine that Savva comes from Russian, meaning 'Wine', and others suggest ‘captive’ from Arabic. 
Some of the prominent people with the name include Savva Yakovlevich Kulish, popular Ukrainian Soviet film director; Savva Ivanovich Mamontov, the famous Russian industrialist; Savva Timofeyevich Morozov, the Russian textile magnate; Savva Ivanovich Chevakinsky, the Russian architect; Savva Lika, the Greek javelin thrower; Savva Georgiou, the Cypriot footballer; and Savva fondly called 'Savely' Vasilyevich Yamshchikov, the Russian art historian.

Lucky

Savva lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
