Agustine is a spelling variant of Augustine, derived from the Latin name Augustinus, a derivative of Augustus meaning "great" or "venerable." The name has been used in various European languages, often associated with Saint Augustine of Hippo, a 4th-century Christian theologian. While less common than Augustine, the variant Agustine appears occasionally in English-speaking countries.
