The name peaked in popularity during the mid-1900s and carries associations with a generation of reliable, hardworking men. Al's simplicity gives it a timeless quality, though in recent decades it has become less common as a standalone given name, with parents more likely to use it as a familiar nickname for longer Al- names.

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.
