Origin and meaning of Agostino
Agostino is the Italian form of Augustinus, a diminutive of the Latin Augustus, 'venerable, consecrated': it thus means 'little Augustus,' worthy of veneration. The name owes its fortune to Saint Augustine of Hippo, one of the greatest thinkers and Fathers of the Church. Common above all in Italy, it has beloved counterparts such as Agustín in Spain and Latin America and Augustin in France. Its solemn, authoritative sound unites spirituality and intellectual depth, a name of great dignity and Christian tradition.
