The name Sabas is a boy's name of Spanish, Greek origin meaning "old man, grandfather".

An interesting, palindromic name, Sabas may appeal to those who like Silas and Sebastian but want something rarer (in the US at least). Derived from the Greek Sabbas, ultimately from the Aramaic sava, the name means "old man, grandfather" making it a name for an "old soul" or perhaps as a subtle honor to a grandparent figure. 
 
Borne by a number of saints, bishops, and martyrs, alternative transcriptions of the name include Sabbas (Greek), Savvas (modern Greek), and Sava (Slavic).
