Sergei is a masculine given name of Russian-Slavic origin that entered common use among Jews from the former Soviet Union and has become a familiar and beloved name in Israel as well.

The original meaning of the name is connected to the Latin word 'servare' meaning 'to guard', 'to protect' or 'to serve', thus the name carries connotations of guardian, protector or faithful servant. In Russian and Eastern Orthodox Christian culture, the name gained great popularity due to Saint Sergius of Radonezh, a 14th-century Russian monk and mystic considered one of the most important saints in the Russian Orthodox Church. Among Russian and Soviet Jews, the name Sergei was particularly common among educated families and the Jewish intelligentsia during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The name reflected a process of integration into general Russian culture while maintaining an internal Jewish identity. Many bearers of the name Sergei were scientists, artists, writers and intellectuals who made significant contributions to Russian and world culture. With the immigration of Soviet Jews to Israel in various waves, especially during the great aliyah of the 1990s, the name Sergei arrived in Israel and became a familiar and common name. Today, the name carries an international character and is associated with a rich Russian-Jewish culture. The name Sergei embodies qualities of loyalty, reliability and inner strength.
