Sabbas

Borne by a variety of early Christian martyrs, saints, and bishops, including Sabbas the Goth and Sabbas the Sanctified, Sabbas is a palindromic name with similar sounds to Sebastian, Silas, and Sasha. A rare choice, it may make an interesting ancient revival.

Derived from the Greek Sabbas, ultimately from the Aramaic sava, the name means "old man, grandfather" giving it an "old soul" feel. Alternative transcriptions of the name include Sabas (Spanish), Savvas (modern Greek), and Sava (Slavic).

Pronounced SAB-ahs.
