Meaning & origin

Agustina is a distinctly Spanish feminine form of Augustine, a name with roots in the Latin word for 'great' or 'venerable'. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1901 and saw its peak popularity in 1931, a time when many traditional Spanish names were common among immigrant communities. Since 2003, its usage has been steadily falling, though it remains a recognizable choice, particularly in Florida where it retains strong regional ties. At a current rank of 5722, it is an uncommon but established name that carries a sense of heritage and dignity.

Agustina is the Spanish feminine form of Augustinus, derived from the Latin 'augustus' meaning 'great' or 'venerable'. The name has been used in Spain and Latin America since the Middle Ages, often in honor of Saint Augustine of Hippo. It saw particular popularity in the early 20th century.
