It means "to understand" or "to know". Taking a guess, i'd say it's derived from the spanish word "sabe" (the "b" is sometimes pronounced "v"), because it's usually asscociated with pirates, and the Spanish were notorious pirates back in the day.

"Savvy" is a colloquial word which means "understand". It derived from the Spanish word "saves" which means "You know" or "you understand"?

My name means "artful and creative". At least my mom says that that is what the baby book said. lol. Uhm, because...Our names give us a sense of identity in the physical world, and our souls are the source of our identity in the spiritual world. Therefore, in a spiritual sense, to be aware of one's own identity is to be aware of the nature of their own soul.
