Origin: Latin

Meaning: Bean grower

Fabien is a French name for boys that can be traced back to Ancient Rome. The moniker was primarily in use through the female line of the Fabii family, an important kin group at the time. While it means “bean grower” in Latin, it may have been more symbolic of the family’s contributions to Roman administration and Roman art, as beans were considered an essential food crop in antiquity. Therefore, naming your little one Fabien is to plant the seeds of greatness in them, while also inspiring them to leave their own mark in the world.
