Sabby is in Origin.

Sabby is a modern English hypocoristic (pet form) used for several names beginning with Sab-, most commonly Sabrina, Sabina, and Sabine; it is also occasionally applied to Sebastian. In contemporary naming it functions as a unisex given name, though it skews feminine in many regions. Pronounced SAB-ee, the form follows the familiar -y/-ie diminutive pattern widespread in British and Irish nicknaming traditions and now international.

Meaning depends on the source name: from Sabrina it connects to the River Severn (Latin Sabrina) and carries watery, lyrical associations; from Sabina/Sabine it denotes "a Sabine (woman/man)," referencing the ancient Italic tribe; from Sebastian it inherits "venerable" (from Greek sebastos). Spelling variants and near-forms include Sabbie, Sabbi, Saby, and Sabi, with Sab as a clipped short form. Independent use appears in late 20th-21st-century records, lending Sabby a breezy, contemporary feel while keeping ties to classic roots.
