Sebastian is a given name. It comes from the Latin name ''Sebastianus'' meaning "from Sebastia", the ancient name of the city of Sivas, in modern Turkey. The name of the city is derived from the Greek word σεβαστός (''sebastos''), "venerable",〔(σεβαστός ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 which comes from σέβας (''sebas''), "awe, reverence, dread",〔(σέβας ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 in turn from the verb σέβομαι (''sebomai''), "feel awe, scruple, be ashamed".〔(σέβομαι ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 ''Sebastos'' was the Greek translation of the title ''Augustus'', which was used for Roman emperors. Sebastian became a widely used name because it was the name of Saint Sebastian, a third-century Christian martyr. The name has been increasing in popularity in different countries. In the United States, it was the 98th most popular name for boys born in 2008. It was the 86th most popular name for boys born in England and Wales in 2007, the 38th most popular name for boys born in Sweden in 2007, the 13th most popular name for boys born in Norway in 2007, the fifth most popular name for boys born in Chile in 2006, and was the 59th most popular name for boys born in New South Wales, Australia in 2007.〔(Behind the Name )〕 == Masculine variants == *Baschi (Swiss) *Bas (Dutch), (Low Saxon) *Basse (Swedish) *Basti (English), (German) *Bastiaan (Dutch), (Low Saxon) *Bastian (English), (German) *Bastián (Galician) *Bastiano (Italian) *Sebastião (Portuguese) *Sébastien, Bastien (French) *Bastjan (Maltese) *Boštjan (Slovene) *Sebas (Dutch) *Sebasuchan (セバスチャン) (Japanese) *Sebastià (Catalan) *Sebastiaan (Dutch) *Sebastian (German) *Sebastian (Romanian) *Sebastian (Polish) *Sebastián (Spanish, Galician) *Sebas (Spanish) *Σεβαστός (Sevastos/Sebastos), Σεβαστιανός (Sevastianos/Sebastianos), Σεβαστίνος (Sevastinos/Sebastinos) (Greek) *Sebastián (Slovak) *Sebastiano (Italian) *Sebastião (Portuguese) *Sebaščan (Prekmurian) *Sebastijan (Croatian), (Slovene) *Sebastiyan (Turkish) *Sebastjan (Slovene) *Sebestyén, Sebes (moniker), Sebő (moniker), Szebasztián (Hungarian) *Sab (Italian) *Seb (English) *Seba (Polish) *Seby (English) *Sebby (English) *Sebbie (English) *Sebb (English) *Sebbybastian (English) *Sevast′jan (Севастьян) (Russian) *Sebastijan (Себастијан) (Serbian) *Sevastijan (Севастијан) (Macedonian) *Sebi (English) *Steb (English) *Sabs (English) *Saje (English) *Sebbe (Swedish) *Sebba (Swedish) * செவத்தியான், செபஸ்டீன், செபசுதீன் (''Sevaththiyan'',''Sebastin'', ''Sebasudin'', Tamil) * ദേവസി, സെബസ്ത്യാനോസ് ("Devassy","Sebastianos", Devassy is sometimes translated to English as Davis which is a common English Surname of a different meaning, Malayalam) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sebastian (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
