I thought it was more like sah-bean

Sah-been-uh almost, with a little swallowed -uh on the end. Unless you're talking about the Sabine Women, in which case they tend to get anglicized to Say-byne.

I've actually come across it pronounced as Say-b-eye-n, if that makes any sense.

just for reference, this pronunciation is relating to the Sabine women of Rome.

As a proper name, I say "sah-BEAN" or "sah-BEAN-uh." As in "Rape of the Sabine Women," I say "SAY-bine." Who even knows why.

In German they say it Zuh-Been-uh, anglicized it sounds like Sah-been

i would initially say it like sah-been but i know some say it like sah-been-uh, which is also how my friend sabina pronounces her name.

SAH-been, but it's kind of a racial slur in parts of louisiana, so i'd never use it.

"been" being pronounced like the word "bean."
