I think a saviour is one who gets you out of an impossible situation. He intervenes in a way that the sufferer is totally unable to do, and removes the problem, freeing up the victim.
Synonyms for "save" and "Saviour" might be "Guarantor" or backer.

[charisbarak]

Synonyms for "save" and "savior" could be "deliver" and "deliverer."

A deliverer would be one taking someone out of an impossible, impassible, seemingly impregnable (sp?) problem. This deliverer would pull that someone from death to life, bondage to freedom and/or hopelessness to hopefulness.

[JustJeff]

Synonyms for "save" are deliver, redeem, rescue, bail out. For "Savior"; deliverer, redeemer, rescuer, saver.
To earn the name of Savior there must be an action, an act that deserves the recognition of the name. In the case of Our Savior, He did all of the aforementioned synonyms by His birth, sinless life, death and resurrection. By His birth He was the Deliverer. By His sinless life He was the perfect sacrifice thereby an acceptable price for our redemption. With His death, He rescued us from certain death by eternal separation from God the Father. With all, by His name we are saved (bailed out, if you will).

Some synonyms for the words "save" and "Savior" are rescue[r], redeem[er], liberate[-or], restore[r]. I'm reminded of something I learned a couple of years ago when I came to understand my salvation in the sense of restoration. My relationship with Yahweh was broken by sin like a shattered mirror, and nothing I could do on my own could ever repair it. I might try to put pieces back together, but the image reflected would always be fractured and distorted and missing something. Jesus Christ the Savior gave me a new "mirror", a new capacity to reflect God's image and holiness properly, when He gave me His own Holy Spirit.

God's primary purpose in my life is to make me holy. That is accomplished through many things that I am unqualified and unsupplied to do for myself, including rescuing me from sin, delivering me from its consequences, redeeming me to be consecrated and sanctified, liberating me to personally relate to God and reflect His holy image, and restoring to me all that had been lost when the relationship He designed me for was shattered. Jesus truly is my Savior.
