Meaning and history
Augustine derives from the Roman name Augustinus, meaning "belonging to Augustus" or "venerable." Its most influential bearer was Saint Augustine of Hippo, the fourth- and fifth-century theologian whose Confessions and City of God shaped Western Christianity. The name has masculine and feminine use in different languages. Another notable bearer was Saint Augustine of Canterbury.
Augustine rose from #547 to #545 for boys between 2024 and 2025. That year also produced its highest recorded birth count, at 549.
