Name Meaning
German, English, French, and Jewish; Spanish (Sebastián): from the personal name Sebastian, Latin Sebastianus, borne by a 3rd-century Christian saint. This was originally an ethnic name meaning ‘man from Sebastia’, a city in Pontus named from Greek sebastos ‘revered’ (the Greek equivalent of Augustus). This surname is also sometimes borne by Jews, presumably as an adoption of the German surname.
