Fabiana is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'faba', meaning 'bean'. It gained popularity during the late 20th century and has since been widely used around the world, particularly in South America, Italy, and some parts of Europe. The name Fabiana brings to mind images of nature, growth, and fertility due to its association with beans. Despite its plant-based origins, Fabiana has a strong and elegant sound that makes it appealing as a given name for girls.
The name Fabiana experienced a significant rise in popularity between the late 1980s and early 2000s, with peak years being 1994 (39 births), 2001 (58 births), and 2005 (64 births). However, there has been a noticeable decline since then, with fewer than 60 Fabianas born each year from 2010 onwards.
