What Fabienne means
Where Fabienne comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Fabienne came into French from Latin, and its root is humble. Behind it stands the Roman family name Fabius, and behind Fabius sits the word faba, a bean. The short meaning is simply that: bean.
The Fabii were an old patrician house in Rome. Fabienne is the French feminine of Fabien, which grew from Fabianus, meaning "belonging to Fabius." So a grand Roman line traces back to a field crop. Farmers once measured wealth in such things.
Pope Fabian, martyred around 250, carried the masculine form and left it a name-day on 20 January. On a Polish class register Fabienne looks French, and it reads French, yet the Latin bean is doing the work underneath. The spelling turns elegant while the meaning stays fixed: faba, a bean.
