What Does the Name Fabiano Mean?

Fabiano is the Italian and Portuguese form of the Latin name Fabianus, which meant "of Fabius" or "belonging to the Fabius family." Fabianus was formed from the Roman family name Fabius with the suffix -anus. The family name is traditionally connected with Latin faba, "bean," so it is commonly interpreted as "bean grower." That sense belongs to the older name Fabius; it is a customary explanation rather than a literal translation of Fabianus, whose basic meaning is "of Fabius."

Fabiano Name History & Origins

The Latin Fabianus arose as a derivative of Fabius, the name of one of Rome's old patrician families, the Fabii. As a personal name it entered early Christian use; Saint Fabian was bishop of Rome from 236 until his martyrdom in 250 during the persecution under Decius. His Latin name, Fabianus, helped carry the name into later Christian naming traditions.

The Italian form Fabiano and the identical Portuguese form developed from this Latin base. In Italy and in Portuguese-speaking countries it is used as a given name, while the same Latin source also produced related forms such as French Fabien, Spanish Fabián, and English Fabian.
