The Story of Augustine
Augustine derives from the Latin 'Augustinus,' a diminutive of Augustus, meaning 'great' or 'venerable.' The name was made famous by Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), the North African theologian whose writings shaped Western Christianity. For centuries it was used almost exclusively for boys, but the -ine ending has made it feel feminine to modern parents.
Augustine for girls has been quietly rising alongside other grand vintage names like Josephine and Clementine. Parents are drawn to its nickname Auggie, which feels fresh and spunky while the full name carries historic gravitas.
Saint Augustine of Hippo is one of the most influential figures in Western philosophy and theology. His 'Confessions' (397 AD) is considered the first Western autobiography. The name carries the weight of intellectual and spiritual heritage.
