What Does the Name Austyn Mean?
Austyn is a spelling variant of the English name Austin, which descends from the Latin name Augustinus. Augustinus was a diminutive of Augustus, a Roman name and title formed from the Latin verb augere, "to increase." As a Roman adjective, augustus meant "venerable," "majestic," or "worthy of honor," and it was used as an imperial title. The usual meaning given for the name family is therefore "venerable" or "majestic," while the literal root sense is "increase." Roman writers connected the word both with augere and with augur, the official who read omens, so the exact origin of augustus is debated; the link to augere is the standard explanation.
Austyn Name History & Origins
The name entered English through the Norman French form Aoustin, a diminutive of Augustin, which became Austin in English. Two early Christian saints helped establish the name in medieval Europe: Augustine of Hippo (354 - 430), the theologian and author of the Confessions, and Augustine of Canterbury (died 604), the monk sent by Pope Gregory the Great to convert the Anglo-Saxons in 597. In medieval England Austin was used as a personal name, and from it the surname Austin developed.
Austyn is a modern spelling that replaces an internal i with y, a pattern also found in names such as Ashlyn and Madisyn; it is pronounced the same as Austin. The related surname was borne by Stephen F. Austin, an early American colonist in Texas, for whom the city of Austin is named.
