Faby is Latin in Origin.

Faby is a modern diminutive and sometimes standalone given name drawn from the Latin-root Fabi- family - Fabio, Fabian/Fabián, Fabien, Fabienne, Fabia, and Fabiola - ultimately tracing to the Roman nomen Fabius. The root derives from Latin faba, “bean,” yielding senses like “bean grower” or “of the bean clan.” The -y ending follows affectionate nickname patterns in French and Spanish, where Faby arose as a phonetic variant of Fabi.

As a given name, Faby appears from the late 20th century, especially in Latin America and francophone regions, and within Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese diasporas. Christian tradition helped sustain the Fabi- names via Pope Saint Fabian and Saint Fabiola, shaping their popularity in Catholic areas. Usage is unisex but often skews feminine through links to Fabiola and Fabienne. Related forms and variants include Fabi, Fabie, Fabby, Fabio, Fabián/Fabian, Fabien, Fabienne, Fabiana, Fabia, and Fabiola.
