Fabian is not a common name that I hear very often in the States where I live.
I mean, it does have a vintage charm from the sound of it, but the meaning is a bit of a letdown in my opinion. :(

I'm trans and this is my chosen name. I think it sounds pretty cool and intelligent without being snarky like other names that can sound kinda stuck-up. Most people pronounce it properly as faye-bee-ann. Some of my nicknames are Fabi, Fabes, Abe, Fab, and Faye.

Coming from someone who has Fabian as a first name, it is nowhere near a good name. It may sound classy, but it is not professional whatsoever. Especially when you’re working in a field where the majority of the race are Caucasian and have normal names like Chris, James or Michael.

Fabian in Latin means ‘bean’, in contemporary Hungarian it means, ‘bean grower’.
I hope that will help those who are researching the surname.

I love this name! It has that classy vibe that I admire. It will suit almost every boy, so I’m really considering this for use.

Used by Shakespeare in Twelfth Night for a jester/comedian in Olivia's household. His talent as a voice artist makes him useful when Sir Toby and Maria are being unkind to the, admittedly horrible, steward, Malvolio.

I don’t even know why but this is my favorite name ever! Fabian suits all ages and sort of combines with the word fab(ulous)! It’s a teeny bit boring in a good way, maybe simple is a better way to say it, but for some reason I love it. It is also slightly rare and it complies with my religion of Christianity because of Saint Fabian. Although I dislike the nickname Ian (personally), nicknames could be decided later on! Future says it that for my child’s name, this is a very possible choice!

This name is not a bad name by any stretch of the imagination. However, the meaning, “bean tiller”, is not an illustrious meaning by any definition. Still not a bad name, just not my cup of tea.
