'''Servette''' is a [district](/source/district) of the city of [Geneva](/source/Geneva), [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland). The district's name comes from the [Latin](/source/Latin) word for forest, ''silva'', and means "little forest". Its name alludes to Servette's rural past, before Geneva grew beyond its walls and incorporated the area. Many of Geneva professional sports teams are named after this neighbourhood; the two most famous examples are [Genève-Servette HC](/source/Gen%C3%A8ve-Servette_HC) and [Servette FC](/source/Servette_FC).
