What is the meaning of the name Fabi ?

The baby name Fabi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced FAH-bee (ˈfɑːbi),FAY-bee (ˈfeɪbi),Italian: FAH-bee (ˈfa.bi).

Fabi is Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Fabi is a modern short form used across European languages for names derived from the Latin family name Fabius. Fabius is based on faba, “bean,” yielding the sense “bean grower” or “bean farmer.” As a diminutive, Fabi can be masculine or feminine: in Spanish and Portuguese it shortens Fabián/Fábio and Fabiana, in Italian Fabio and Fabiana, in German and Swiss usage Fabian/Fabienne, and in French Fabien/Fabienne. It is sometimes adopted as an independent given name, particularly in Europe and Latin America, with a friendly, contemporary feel.

The Fabius clan was prominent in ancient Rome - most notably Quintus Fabius Maximus “Cunctator” - and the name spread through Christian Europe via Pope Saint Fabian (3rd century). Common variants and related forms include Fabian, Fabián, Fabien, Fabio, Fábio, Fabiano, Fabia, Fabiana, and Fabienne; feminine Latinate Fabiana/Fabia and French Fabienne are widespread. Fabi thus carries a classical Roman pedigree with a light, modern nickname style.
