What is the meaning of the name Sabine ?

The baby name Sabine is a Female name , 23 syllables long and is pronounced {'English': '/səˈbiːn/', 'French': '/sa.bin/', 'German': '/zaˈbiːnə/'}.

Sabine is Latin in Origin.

Sabine is the French and German form of Latin Sabina, the feminine of Sabinus, an ethnonym meaning “a woman of the Sabine people,” the ancient Italic tribe north-east of Rome. The name appears in classical Rome (notably Empress Vibia Sabina, wife of Hadrian) and entered Christian tradition via the early martyr Saint Sabina, whose name is preserved in Rome’s basilica of Santa Sabina. Renaissance art’s Abduction of the Sabine Women kept the ethnonym culturally visible.

Variants include Sabina (English, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Romanian), Sabína (Slovak), and Szabina (Hungarian); related masculine forms are Sabin and Sabino. Nicknames such as Sabi, Bine, and Sabinka occur in various languages. Sabine itself has long been familiar in France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Low Countries, peaking in the late 20th century. The meaning centers on origin or identity - “from the Sabines” - rather than a trait, lending the name a quietly classical, pan-European character.
