Meaning, origin and history of the name Sebastian - Behind the Name

Meaning
From the Latin name
Sebastianus, which meant "from Sebaste". Sebaste was the name a town in
Asia Minor, its name deriving from Greek σεβαστός (sebastos) meaning "venerable" (a translation of Latin
Augustus, the title of the
Roman emperors). According to
Christian tradition,
Saint Sebastian was a 3rd-century
Roman soldier martyred during the persecutions of the emperor
Diocletian. After he was discovered to be a
Christian, he was tied to a stake and shot with arrows. This however did not kill him.
Saint Irene of
Rome healed him and he returned to personally admonish
Diocletian, whereupon the emperor had him beaten to death.
Due to the
Saint's popularity, the name came into general use in medieval
Europe, especially in Spain and
France. It was also borne by a 16th-century king of Portugal who died in a crusade against
Morocco.
