Etymology
From Sabus, eponym of the Sabines, Italic tribal name from Proto-Italic *saβnōs, *saβn-iyo-, *saβnyom- (compare Oscan 𐌔𐌀𐌚𐌉𐌍𐌉𐌌 (safinim), Latin Samnium and the Samnōnēs), from an uncertain Proto-Indo-European root, possibly *sebʰ-, *sₔbʰ- (“one's own”), or a derivative of *swé (“self”). Compare the Germanic tribe name *Swēbaz (“one of the Suēbī”), which may have a similar etymology. Or, from a substrate element *sab-; compare the Sabellī.
