Sabinus

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Latin

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain. The name is said to mean "of one's own," from Proto-Indo-European *sebʰ-, *swebʰ- (one's own)[1] with the suffix -īnus, but the /a/ and /b/ phonemes render this suspect. Compare sibi and the Germanic tribe name Suēbī.
