Meaning & Origin
a male given name, equivalent to English Sebastian
Sebastiano is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, the Italian form of Sebastian — from Sebastianus, meaning 'from Sebaste,' an ancient city in Asia Minor. Saint Sebastian, the 3rd-century martyr depicted in countless Renaissance paintings, is one of the most depicted figures in Western art.
Sebastiano brings a distinctly Italian operatic grandeur to the already elegant Sebastian. It's the name you'd find on a Venetian carnival mask or in an aria — magnificent and unforgettable.
