Tijan

Tijan is a Slovene masculine given name, most likely derived as a regional form of the Latin name Sebastianus, which itself traces back to the Greek Sebastianos, meaning from Sebaste, a city whose name reflects the Greek word sebastos, meaning venerable or revered. The name entered Slovene vernacular through centuries of Catholic devotion to Saint Sebastian, the early Christian martyr whose cult spread widely across Europe. Related forms in other languages include Sebastian, Bastian, and Sebastiano.
