The name Sebastinus goes back to the name of the Greek city of Sebaste, the modern Sivas, in Asia Minor. The town's name was derived from the Greek Σεβαστός sebastos " venerable " from, in reference to Augustus, Latin for " sublime " in honor of a Roman emperor.

The meaning of the name, therefore, is " man from Sebaste " or " the Exalted ", " the Venerable ".
