First recorded in the United States in 1975, it saw its highest usage in 1983 but has never entered the top 1,000. The name has remained stable in its low frequency since the 1980s. Its similarity to the more common 'Gus' gives it a familiar yet distinctive feel. As of 2025, Gustin remains a unique choice with no states showing notable concentration.
Gustin is of uncertain origin. It may be a variant of Justus, from Latin iustus meaning 'just, upright', or a derivative of August, from Latin augustus 'majestic, venerable'.
