The actor meaning of Thespian comes from the name of Thespis, a 6th century BC Greek playwright and performer.

The warrior meaning of Thespian comes from the appellation of citizens of Θεσπιαί, romanized: Thespia, a city.
Etymologically, Thespiai comes from Thespis, an abstract noun meaning 'Divine inspiration'.
