ArchivesRe: can't find what my son's name means.
in reply to a message by delilahgonzales
It might be related to the Sabine tribe. Could be a masculine form of Sabina or another form of Sabino maybe. I've usually seen it with the spelling Sabian. I don't know the meaning and origin for sure though. Just a guess.
I looked up Sabian and Sabyan, and found this page:

I found even better information actually. :)
Try this page:
http://www.sabian.org/sabian.htm
"As a word, 'Sabian' comes from the Hebrew 'Sabaoth,' the plural of 'army' as found in the scriptural phrase 'Lord of Hosts' (Romans 9:29), and the Sabian Philosophy is properly to be understood as the study not of the stars, the 'powers' to whom the Sumerian masses transferred the Sabian worship, but the "potentialities" of all life and all manifestation in all things." (Dr. Marc Edmund Jones, "That Word Sabian." "The Message 3, No. 6 (June-July, 1927), 4-5.
Hopefully it's accurate.
