Austine
Meaning of Austine
The name Austine, pronounced AW-steen, is a unisex variation of Austin, itself derived from the Latin Augustinus and ultimately Augustus, carrying connotations of dignified esteem. Recognized across Anglo-American communities, Austine brings classical heritage—evoking Saint Augustine of Hippo and generations of scholarly tradition—while remaining unpretentious in contemporary use. Although it has never ranked among the nation’s most popular choices, Austine has maintained a steady presence in US baby-name charts since the mid-1980s, typically appearing between the high 600s and high 800s with fewer than a dozen annual occurrences in recent decades. This measured popularity underscores its appeal to parents seeking a distinctive yet grounded option: a name with historical depth that avoids both fleeting trendiness and obscurity. Austine may not headline celebrity announcements, but it possesses enough character to be memorable during a kindergarten roll call.
