The Name Savantas

The name "Savantas" was built by combining the French word "savant", meaning a person of great learning, with the suffix of many Latin nouns (for example veritas, caritas, pietas), to signify our accent on knowledge and wisdom. Its Chinese name ¡u¶×½å´¼®w¡v puns with ¡u¶×½å­P´I¡v, meaning "congregation of talents is the source of wealth creation". Together, they signify our vision that long-term wealth creation lies in people and in enhancing the knowledge component of our economy.
