Sebastion is Greek in Origin.

Sebastion is a modern English respelling of Sebastian, from Latin Sebastianus and Greek Sebastos, meaning “venerable, revered,” the Greek equivalent of the imperial title Augustus. The root verb sebázomai/sebazein conveys reverence or awe, giving the name an elevated, honorific sense.

Carried into Europe by the cult of the third‑century Roman martyr Saint Sebastian, the name flourished across medieval Christendom and later courts and literature. While Sebastian has surged in recent decades in English-speaking countries, Sebastion appears as a rarer alternative spelling in U.S. and Canadian records. International variants include Spanish Sebastián, Italian Sebastiano, French Sébastien, Portuguese Sebastião, Polish Sebastian, and German Sebastian; feminine forms such as Sebastiana and Sébastienne exist but are uncommon. Nicknames range from Seb and Sebby to Bash and Bastian. Parents choosing Sebastion retain the classic meaning and saintly pedigree while opting for a distinctive, contemporary look.
