==Name== Socerb was attested in written sources in the 14th century as propre Sanctum Servulum (and in 1763–87 as St. Servolo). The Slovene name is derived from *Sǫt-Serb: a combination of *sǫt- 'saint' (ultimately from Latin sanctus) plus *Serb (from Servu(lus), the name of a local saint, or from Servus, a 5th-century martyr in Thuburbo Majus).
