Are you sure "Bastian" isn't just short for the more common name Sebastian?

Bastian is an abridgement of Sebastian. The name is of greek origin and means the honourable.

I agree with previous answers.....Bastian is the short version for the name Sebastian

Bastian is short for the first name sebastian.

the word is actually pronounced "Bastion", which is a fortress; stronghold; or castle. I am guessing that when your friend said he is "Bastion", he meant 'he is a bastion', which would refer to a family notorious in WWII.
