Answer

haha! I'm guessing, but I think Sebastian is the skeleton (head).  Medical students have a habit of naming the skeleton they use to study human bones.

Answer

Sebastian is a given name derived from a Latin name meaning "from Sebaste." The name of the town in Asia Minor was derived from the Greek σεβαστος, or sebastos, meaning "venerable." This was a Greek translation of the title Augustus, which was used for Roman emperors. Sebastian became a widely used name because it was the name of Saint Sebastian, a third century Christian martyr.
