Seb

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Egyptian

Meaning: Venerable

Seb is a name with two very distinct meanings. In Greek, Seb is a shortened version of Sebastian, a masculine name derived from the term sebastos, which means “venerable.” In Egyptian, Seb is a variation of Geb, who is the god of the earth in local mythology. Fans of the Oscar-winning blockbuster La La Land will recognize the name from the leading male protagonist, Seb Wilder. The name has grown in popularity since the release of the movie.
