Sylvanus Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
SILVANUS, which is, when any Latin allusion is intended, or association implied, the correct spelling; otherwise, Sylvanus is usual. It was adopted in England when, in C16, the Latin classics became widely read. Silvanus, a divinity of the fields and forests, is also the protector of field-boundaries. ‘In connexion with woods (sylvestris deus), he especially presided over plantations, and delighted in trees growing wild’ (Blakeney). ‘Sylvanus Urban’ was Edward Cave, who (1691-1754) founded The Gentleman’s Magazine, over which, thus urbanely, he efficiently watched from 1731 till his death.
