Sebastiansky Family Branch
Sebastianszky Surname
Although some explanations begin with unnamed street kids that lived in Sebastia, the name used by the Sebastiansky family draws its roots from the third century martyr, Saint Sebastian.

Spellings include: Sebastiansky, Szebestianszky, Sebastianszky, Sebestianski, or Sebastianski.
