Sébastien

The French form of Sebastian, itself derived from the name of an ancient city whose name meant "venerable" in Greek, Sébastien was a popular choice in France, Belgium, Quebec, and Czechia up until the early 2010s when it fell out of style. Short form Bastien is still in the French charts however.

Notable bearers include politician (and French Prime Minister, 2025) Sébastien Lecornu and racing driver, Sébastien Loeb.

Pronounced say-bahs-CHAHN.
