Meaning: Bean grower; Broad bean

Fabyen, from the Roman name Fabianus, is a masculine Latin name with several variations throughout Europe, from Fabio in Italy to Fabián in Spain. The name derives from the Latin word faba, giving Fabyen the meaning of "broad bean” or “bean grower." The broad bean, or fava bean, became one of the most talked-about legumes in the 1990s after Anthony Hopkins's Academy Award-winning performance in the film The Silence of the Lambs. Movie fans still quote Hannibal Lecter's reference to the pea and bean family member to this day. Watching the film together is something you and Fabyen can do someday soon, as it won't be long before your little one starts to sprout.
