Meaning

Bean association, through the Roman Fabius name family.

Exact Italian and Spanish given-name entries derive Fabio from Latin Fabius. The supporting Fabius entry links the Roman family name to faba, bean; it does not establish bean grower as a universal literal translation.

Origin

Italian and Spanish forms of Latin Fabius.

Both exact native-language entries identify male given-name use and the Latin parent. These traditions are not collapsed to an exclusively Spanish origin.

English pronunciation

Not yet published for this spelling.
