Sebastienne
s(e)-bas-tienne,
sebast(ien)-ne
Origin:Greek
Meaning:From Sebaste, man of Sebastia; Venerable
Sebastienne is a timeless moniker, perfect for a little one destined to grow up with self-respect and a sense of honor. Derived from the masculine Sebastien, this French feminine form has roots in the Latin Sebastianus and Greek Sebastianos, meaning "from Sebaste" or "man of Sebastia." This ancient city in Pontus was named in honor of Emperor Augustus Caesar and is now present-day Sivas in Turkey. The Greek word sebastos translates to "venerable," mirroring the Latin augustus, alluding to the grandiosity of Caesar's position as the first Emperor of the Roman Empire. While inspired by the classic Sebastian, Sebastienne holds its own ground with a distinctly French flair and an elegant touch.
