Sevastian Origin and Meaning

The name Sevastian is a boy's name.

Sevastian is a masculine name that represents an alternative spelling of Sebastian, which originated from the Greek name Sebastianos, meaning "from Sebaste" or "venerable." Sebaste was an ancient city whose name derived from "sebastos," the Greek equivalent of the Latin "augustus" (revered). The most famous bearer was Saint Sebastian, a 3rd-century Roman soldier and Christian martyr. While Sebastian ranks consistently in popularity charts worldwide, Sevastian offers a distinctive Slavic twist, particularly popular in Russian and Eastern European cultures. This variation maintains the strong classical roots while providing a unique spelling that sets it apart from the more common Sebastian.
