- Augustine Meaning
- From the Roman name Augustinus, itself derived from the Roman name Augustus. Saint Augustine of Hippo was a 5th-century Christian theologian and author from North Africa. For his contributions to Christian philosophy he is known as a Doctor of the Church. Due to his renown, the name came into general use in the Christian world. It became popular in England in the Middle Ages partly because of a second saint by this name, Augustine of Canterbury, a 6th-century Italian monk sent to England to convert the Anglo-Saxons. Augustine is an English variant of Augustus. Augustus originates in Latin language and means "exalted". This was the name of the first emperor of the Roman Empire. As a masculine given name it sounds rather old-fashioned in modern times and is rarely used.
