Hello,
Fabian comes from the latin FABA which means bean, also said to come from the city: FABIAE and that it means planter of beans.
The name is used in english speaking countries, but also Holland, Germany and Polen.
On January 20 there is a feast in honor of Holy Fabianus a pope and martyr coming from the third century.
On December 27 there is a feast in honor of Holy Fabiola coming from the fourth century who set up the first hospitals.
Hope this was of help.
