Do you know your Latin?

Can you help me here? What would be the correct English to Latin translation of the phrase "Saint Florian Protect Us"?

Thanks.

Have you tried to find latin for "Saint Florian" and for "Protect Us" from other latin phrases then combined them?

You're smart I'm sure you have. But one of my voices compels me to check the obvious.

I've tried that...but I haven't found anything that looked right to me. I also want to be sure it's grammatically correct because I am considering it as part of a tattoo.

I think it would be the singular imperative, no? assuming 'protegere' (to protect) is 2nd conjugation that would be 'protege nos'

If you google 'protege nos' 'salva nos' you should get some latin liturgy hits for reference

EDIT: DOH! it's 3rd conj. - but same rules apply

Sanctó Florió servanos.

Yes? I believe the Saint Florian part would be in the locative declension. I'm not entirely sure though, so if anyone wants to correct that, please do!
