Origins

Perhaps Sabus + -īnus (but compare Oscan 𐌔𐌀𐌚𐌉𐌍𐌉𐌌 (safinim), pointing to Proto-Italic *saβ-īn-); further unknown. The name is said to mean “of one's own”, from Proto-Indo-European *sebʰ-, *swebʰ- (“one's own”) (compare the reflexive pronoun *swé, dative *s(w)ebʰi(o), whence Latin sibi) with the attributive suffix *-iHnos, but the /a/ phoneme and uncertainties about the root render this suspect. Compare also the Germanic tribe name Suēbī.
