Fabyan is a boy’s name of American origin and an alternative form of the Slavic name Fabjan. Coming from Fabian, it translates to “bean” or “broad bean," but there's nothing pint-sized about the people it's known for! George Fabyan was a 19th-century millionaire who pioneered modern cryptography. With the help of other professionals, he also supported the idea that Francis Bacon was the mind behind Shakespeare’s works. That theory was later debunked, but with a name like Fabyan, who knows what your own budding researcher might find?
