Sebastian descends from Latin Sebastianus, from Greek Sebastianos, “man of Sebastia,” ultimately linked to sebastos, “venerable, august,” a title akin to Latin Augustus. The martyr Saint Sebastian propelled the name across medieval and modern Europe. Related forms include Sébastien, Sebastián, Sebastiano, Sebastiaan, Sebastian, and Hungarian Sebestyén; diminutives span Seb, Seba, Bastian/Basti, Bas, Sebby, and Sebi. In many countries, the broader name family has seen renewed popularity since the late 20th century.
