Salvadors

Salvadors is the plural form of the given name Salvador in English. It is not a standard demonym or ethnonym. In most formal writing about national identity, the terms Salvadoran or Salvadorean are used for people from El Salvador.

The name Salvador itself comes from the Latin Salvator, meaning “Savior.” In Spanish, the corresponding plural of the surname Salvador is Salvadores; in English, when used as a surname, the plural would typically be Salvadors.

In practice, Salvadors may appear when listing multiple individuals who bear the given name Salvador, but this plural form is uncommon in everyday writing. For discussions of nationality, it is better to use Salvadoran or Salvadorean. The Spanish-language demonym salvadoreño (male) or salvadoreña (female) is also common in Spanish contexts. The English equivalents Salvadoran and Salvadorean are widely used in international discourse.

Notable individuals with the given name Salvador include Salvador Dalí, the Spanish surrealist painter; Salvador Allende, former president of Chile; and Salvador Sobral, a Portuguese singer. These examples illustrate how Salvador functions as a given name across different cultures, rather than indicating a distinct people or group.
