Sebastien
Sebastien Origin and Meaning
Sebastien is the French variation of Sebastian, a name with ancient Greek and Latin origins. Derived from the Greek "Sebastianos," meaning "from Sebastia" or "revered," it was historically associated with St. Sebastian, a third-century Roman martyr. This elegant spelling, with the omission of the final 'a,' is particularly popular in French-speaking regions including France, Quebec, and Haiti. Sebastien carries an air of sophistication and European charm while maintaining the strength of the original name. While less common than Sebastian in English-speaking countries, its popularity has grown with increasing appreciation for French naming traditions. The name offers friendly nicknames like Seb or Bastien, combining classical heritage with stylish international appeal.
