Sebastian: Boys Baby Name Meaning

Sebastian Baby Name

The name Sebastian means ‘man from Sebastia’ or ‘venerable’.

Sebastian comes from the Latin Sebastianus meaning ‘man from Sēbastē’ which was an ancient town located in present-day Turkey and named for Augustus Caesar.

The name ultimately comes from the Greek word ‘sebastos’ (σεβαστος) meaning venerable and was the Greek equivalent of the Latin regal title, Augustus, given to Caesar. 

The name was borne by a 3rd century saint who joined the Roman army as a way to quietly protect and defend the Christian martyrs of his day while avoiding detection during the Christian persecutions of the Roman Empire.

Sebastian became the patron saint of athletes and soldiers due to his strong physical endurance.

As well as the patron saint of plague sufferers, for his reported cures of those afflicted with many diseases.

His name was popularized by Christians in the 14th century during the Black Death which reinforced the appeal of this protective saint’s name.

Famous people who share the name Sebastian:

Sebastian Faulks, British author; Sebastian Fülle, German basketball player; Sebastián Francini, Argentine actor; Sebastian Horsley, English artist.
