Sabiti is in Origin.

Sabiti is an East African given name and surname with roots in Arabic Thabit (Thābit), meaning “firm, steadfast.” Through Swahili, the adjective thabiti came to mean “solid, reliable,” and Sabiti functions as a regional spelling and phonetic variant. Related forms appear widely: Thabiti/Thabit/Thabet in Arabic-influenced contexts, Sabit in Turkish, and Sabeti as a Persian surname.

Usage is found on the Swahili coast and inland across Uganda, Rwanda, and the Great Lakes, spread via Indian Ocean trade, Islam, and later regional mobility. In western Uganda, spellings like Sabiiti are common among Runyankore–Rutooro speakers; in some Bantu languages, essabbiiti/esabiiti means “week” (from “Sabbath”), a folk association that occasionally colors local interpretations. Variants include Thabiti, Thabit, Thabet, Sabit, Sabiiti, and Sabeti. The name is predominantly masculine in Arabic and Turkish traditions but is used for all genders in contemporary East African settings, always carrying the core sense of steadfastness.
