Origin
Meaning and origin of Savransky
The surname Savransky is of Ukrainian origin, dating back to the 16th century. It originated in the region of Galicia, which was part of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time. The name is derived from the Ukrainian word "savran," which means "saffron" or "yellow color."
The earliest recorded instance of the surname Savransky can be found in the Lviv City Archives, where a merchant named Hryhoriy Savransky is mentioned in a document from 1587. This suggests that the name was already in use among the urban population of the region during the late 16th century.
In the 17th century, the Savransky family was known to have lived in the town of Ternopil, which was part of the Ternopil Voivodeship (province) of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. A notable figure from this era was Andriy Savransky (1620-1692), a Ukrainian Orthodox priest and writer who authored several religious texts.
During the 18th century, the Savransky name appeared in various historical records across the regions of Galicia and Volhynia. One prominent individual was Petro Savransky (1738-1812), a Ukrainian Cossack officer who fought in the Kościuszko Uprising against the Russian Empire in 1794.
In the 19th century, the Savransky surname spread across Ukraine and parts of Russia. One notable figure was Oleksandr Savransky (1867-1923), a Ukrainian poet and translator who was part of the literary movement known as "Ukrainian Modernism."
Another important individual with the Savransky surname was Mykola Savransky (1892-1937), a Ukrainian historian and ethnographer who studied the cultural traditions of the Hutsul people in the Carpathian Mountains. He was a victim of Joseph Stalin's Great Purge and executed during the Soviet repressions.
Throughout its history, the Savransky surname has been associated with various professions, including merchants, clergy, military officers, writers, poets, and scholars. While it originated in the western regions of Ukraine, the name has since spread to other parts of the country and beyond.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Savransky surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
