Etymology

The term 'Savoy' originates from the Latin 'Sapaudia', which referred to the Sapaudia region in the Alps. The name evolved through various forms in different languages and was solidified with the establishment of the House of Savoy in the 11th century. As a notable dynasty in Europe, the House of Savoy played pivotal roles in the history of France, Italy, and the broader European political landscape. In the 19th century, Savoy became part of the Kingdom of Italy during the unification process. The region's rich cultural heritage contributed to its identity, spanning language, traditions, and cuisine, notably introducing Savoy cabbage, which retains its name due to the region's agricultural importance. Today, Savoy symbolizes not only geographical significance but also a historical lineage that intertwines with European royalty and national identity.
