History and Origin
Augustine is a masculine given name derived from the Latin word augere, meaning "to increase." The name is a variation of the Roman names Augustus and Augustinus. Augustus, meaning "the great" or "the venerable" was a title given to Roman emperors. In English tradition, the name has often been shortened to or pronounced as "Austin," which is a usage attested at least back to the time of Chaucer, though this custom is now relatively rare and the connection between the two names is often no longer recognized in some parts of the English-speaking world.
Agustín, a Spanish version of the name, was the eighth most popular name given to baby boys born in Buenos Aires City in 2006 and the most popular name given to baby boys born in Uruguay in 2006 and in Chile in 2012 and 2013. Agustina, a feminine variant, was the third most popular name used for girls born in Uruguay in 2006 and was the fifth most popular name for baby girls born in Buenos Aires City in 2006, as well as the tenth most popular in Chile in the first term of 2014. Augustė, a Lithuanian variant, was the ninth most popular name given to baby girls born in Lithuania in 2005. Austin, an English variant, has ranked in the top 50 names given to baby boys born in the United States from 1990 to 2007. Both Augustine and Austin have occasionally been used for girls in the United States as well. Saint Augustine of Hippo is a well-known Christian saint.
English form of the Latin name Augustīnus (a derivative of Augustus). Its most famous bearer is St Augustine of Hippo (354–430), perhaps the greatest of the Fathers of the Christian Church. He formulated the principles followed by the numerous medieval communities named after him as Austin canons, friars, and nuns. Also important in England was St Augustine of Canterbury, who brought Christianity to Kent in the 6th century. See also Austin.
