Etymology and Origin Augustín is the Slovak form of the Latin name Augustinus, which itself derives from the Roman name Augustus, meaning "majestic" or "venerable." The name spread widely due to the fame of Saint Augustine of Hippo, a 5th-century Christian theologian, and a second saint, Augustine of Canterbury, who was sent to convert the Anglo-Saxons. In Slovakia, Augustín is a masculine given name with variants like August, Gusto, Gustínko, and Gustík (from Wiktionary). Cultural Context The name Augustín is in regular use among Slovak speakers.
