Sabatino is Italian in Origin.

Sabatino is an Italian given name and surname derived from Latin Sabbatinus/Sabbatius, ultimately from Greek Sabbatios and Hebrew shabbat “Sabbath.” In Italian, sabato means “Saturday,” so the name conveys “Saturday-born” or “of the Sabbath.” The feminine form is Sabatina; related Italian variants include Sabato and the patronymic Di Sabatino/De Sabatino. Diminutives and nicknames include Tino and Sabby. Cognates and near-equivalents appear as Latin Sabbatius, Greek Sabbatios, Russian Savvatiy/Savvaty, and Hebrew Shabtai/Shabbatai.

Use grew from day-name and devotional traditions in medieval and early modern Italy, especially in the south (Campania, Abruzzo, Molise, Puglia, Calabria). The name is also borne by several saints called Sabbatius, and the birth name of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I was Sabbatius, anchoring its classical pedigree. As a given name, Sabatino peaked among Italian communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is now rare, though it remains recognizable through surnames and diaspora usage.
