Derived from the ancient Greek word (σεβαστός) [thebathtos] means - "high, holy; venerable". The epithet of the Roman emperors. Or comes from the Latin - "from Sebasteia (ancient Roman Armenian city)".
St. Sebastian was born at Narbonne, Gaul. He became a soldier in the Roman army at Rome in about 283, and encouraged Marcellian and Marcus, under sentence of death, to remain firm in their faith.
