History & Origin

Salvatrice is the feminine counterpart of Salvatore, both from Latin salvator, 'savior.' A traditional southern Italian and Sicilian name, it appears in US records mainly among early-twentieth-century immigrant families.

It was always scarce on American soil, given to only about fifteen girls a year around the nineteen-tens. A Salvatrice from that time would be of a great-grandmother's generation now.

Did you know? Like its masculine twin Salvatore, Salvatrice honors Christ the Savior - a mark of the deep Catholic devotion many Sicilian families brought to America.
