Fabian Raymond Picardo is a Gibraltarian politician and barrister serving as Chief Minister of Gibraltar and Leader of the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party since 2011.
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.
The pop idol of the 1960's called Fabian was just a pretty face with scant musical talent. Reportedly he performed on stage miming to a record because he was too nervous to sing.
A famous bearer is Fabian Prewett, a fictional creation of J.K. Rowling. He is a brother of Molly Weasley neé Prewett, and of Gideon Prewett, brother-in-law to Arthur Weasley, and uncle to Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny Weasley. He and his brother, Gideon, died "heroically" against five Death Eaters, sometime before the fall of Lord V.
The Fabian Society is a British socialist intellectual movement, whose purpose is to advance the socialist cause by social democratic, rather than revolutionary, means. Edith Nesbit was a member of the Fabian Society, and named one of her sons Fabian because of it.
