Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Sabin or Savin is an ancient name that was represented by Sabin, Sabine, and Sabyn, in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk in the 13th century (H. R.). At that time, also, Le Saven and Le Savener were Cambridgeshire names (H. R.). Bardsley suggests that the last of these names is a corruption of Le Savonier (the soap - seller); but concerning this I am doubtful.
