Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan (Salvó) surname, all from the adjective salvo (“safe, saved”), or from its Latin source salvus (“safe”), found in names like Salvus and Salvone.

From Latin salvo, ablative of salvus, the past participle of salvāre (“to save, to reserve”), either from salvo jure (“the right being reserved”), or from salvo errore et omissone (“reserving error and omission”).

An alteration from 1719 of salva (“simultaneous discharge of guns”) (1591) from Latin salva (“salute, volley”) (compare French salve, also from Italian), from Latin salve (“hail”), the usual Roman greeting, imperative of salvere (“to be in good health”).
