Fabiane is Latin in Origin.

Fabiane is a feminine form derived from the Latin family name Fabianus, itself from Fabius and the root faba, “bean,” yielding the sense of “bean grower” or “from the Fabian family.” The prestige of the Roman gens Fabius - especially the general Quintus Fabius Maximus - and the cult of Pope Saint Fabian helped carry the name into Christian Europe. Fabiane appears chiefly in Brazil and Lusophone communities as a variant alongside the more widespread Fabiana, and it is also encountered in German- and French-influenced settings.

Usage rose in the late 20th century with the vogue for melodious -iana/-iane endings. Related forms include Fabiana (Portuguese, Spanish, Italian), Fabienne (French), and the masculine counterparts Fabian, Fabien, Fábio/Fabio, and Fabiano. Short forms such as Fabi are used in Portuguese. The name’s etymology evokes ideas of fertility and sustenance, while its Roman and saintly associations lend a quiet, enduring classicism.
