Sebastian, often shortened to Sebas, is of Latin origin and means "venerable" or "revered." It's composed of two elements: "sebas," which translates to "reverence," and "ianus," meaning "of Janus," the Roman god of beginnings and endings. The name has been popular throughout history among royalty and saints, contributing to its enduring appeal. Notable figures include Sebastian of Portugal, a patron saint of soldiers, and Sebastian Bach, the renowned German composer.
"Sebas saw five newborns in 2023, making its total birth count reach five."
