The Story of Sebastion
Sebastian (alternate spelling: Sebastion) derives from the Greek Sebastos, meaning venerable or revered, the Greek translation of the Latin Augustus. The name was borne by Saint Sebastian, a 3rd-century Christian martyr who became one of the most depicted figures in Renaissance art. It spread widely through Catholic Europe due to its saintly associations.
Sebastian has been rising steadily in English-speaking countries since the 1990s. The crab character Sebastian in The Little Mermaid (1989) brought the name to American children, and it has continued rising to the US top 20.
Sebastian is deeply rooted in Catholic tradition as a martyr saint. In Latin America it remains perennially popular. In England it carries aristocratic connotations through characters like Sebastian Flyte in Brideshead Revisited.
