Augustin comes from the Latin Augustinus, a diminutive of Augustus, 'consecrated, venerable', made famous by Saint Augustine of Hippo, one of the great Church fathers. In France it has made a comeback in recent years, appearing with growing frequency in INSEE statistics as vintage, intellectual-sounding names return to fashion. Parents love its classic elegance and the tie to a towering cultural figure.
