Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

Sebastiana means a woman from Sebaste, or metaphorically "venerable" and "revered".

Detailed etymology (in Slovak)

Meno Sebastiána je ženskou podobou mena Sebastián. Do európskych jazykov sa rozšírilo prostredníctvom latinského mena Sebastianus, ktoré pochádza z gréckeho Sebastianos (Σεβαστιανός) vo význame „pochádzajúci zo Sebaste“. Názov mesta Sebaste súvisí s gréckym slovom sebastos (σεβαστός), teda „ctihodný, vznešený, uctievaný“, ktoré bolo gréckym ekvivalentom latinského titulu Augustus.
