Augustinas is a Lithuanian male given name, the local form of Augustine. It derives from the Roman name Augustinus, a derivative of Augustus, meaning “majestic” or “venerable.” The name entered the Christian world through two prominent saints: Augustine of Hippo (4th–5th century), a North African theologian and Doctor of the Church, and Augustine of Canterbury (6th century), the missionary who converted the Anglo-Saxons. In Lithuania, the name was adopted via Latin Augustinus, likely transmitted through ecclesiastical or scholarly channels—Lithuanology notes its status as a “learned borrowing.” The feminine counterpart is Augustina. Related names across other languages include Augustinus (the Latin original), Catalan Agustí, Italian Dino (via Augustine|Augustinus|+|+|+|etc), Romanian Augustin, and Dutch Augustijn or Stijn. Meaning: derivative of Augustus = “great” / “venerable” Origin: Latin adapted via Lithuanian Type: traditional Christian name Usage regions: primarily Lithuania
