Origin and meaning of Fabia
Fabia is the feminine of Fabio, from the ancient Roman gens Fabia, one of Rome's noblest families, whose name perhaps comes from the Latin faba, 'bean', linked to the cultivation of the fields. The name evokes classical roots, restraint and quiet strength. Used mainly in Italy in a rare, elegant way, abroad it appears as the French Fabienne and the variant Fabiana, both soft and Latin in sound.
