Sabinus is Latin in Origin.

Sabinus is a Latin cognomen and family name meaning “Sabine,” denoting a man of the Sabine people (Lat. Sabini), an ancient Italic tribe of central Italy. As an ethnonymic name, it signaled geographic or cultural origin and may have entered families through adoption or manumission, later stabilizing as a hereditary cognomen. The feminine counterpart is Sabina; related adjectives produced Sabine in later languages.

Borne by Romans such as the jurist Massurius Sabinus and several members of the Flavian family, it gained Christian currency via early martyrs and bishops (e.g., Sabinus of Spoleto/Canosa), sustaining use in late antiquity and medieval Italy. Modern variants include Italian/Spanish/Portuguese Sabino (also Italian Savino), French/Romanian Sabin, and the feminine Sabina/Sabine; Latin Sabinianus appears in ecclesiastical records. Usage today is rare in English but persists regionally in Italy and Romania.
