We admire St. Fabian, an early pope who led the Church in peace until he was martyred by a new Roman emperor.

Why is it that the name Fabian means bean grower and what kind of inspiration does it add to someone who bears it and does it mean that the person or anyone that bears the name is a bean grower or a bean seller?
