Meaning & origin
Augustino is an Italian variant of Augustine that has seen modest use in the United States since the early 20th century. First recorded in 1915, it reached its peak popularity in 1918, the same year its highest recorded usage occurred. After declining for decades, the name has recently shown signs of stability, maintaining a low but consistent presence. In 2023, it ranked 8,243rd with a frequency of roughly 1 in 190,000 births. While it has never been a common choice, Augustino carries a classic, scholarly appeal tied to its saintly namesake. Its perennial rarity may attract parents seeking a distinctive Italian name with deep historical roots.
Augustino is an Italian variant of Augustine, itself derived from the Latin name Augustinus, which is a derivative of Augustus, meaning 'majestic', 'venerable', or 'consecrated'. The name was popularized by Saint Augustine of Hippo, a fourth-century theologian and Doctor of the Church. In Italy, the name has been used since the Middle Ages, often in honor of the saint.
