The name Šebastián is the Slovak and Czech form of Sebastian, derived from the Latin Sebastianus, itself from the Greek Sebastianos, meaning "from Sebastia," a city in Asia Minor whose name derives from the Greek sebastos, meaning "venerable" or "revered." The name gained widespread use in Christian Europe largely through the veneration of Saint Sebastian, a third-century Roman martyr depicted in medieval and Renaissance art. Related forms include the Spanish Sebastián, the French Sébastien, the Italian Sebastiano, and the Polish Sebastian.
