Etymology
'augustin' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'Augustinus', where 'Augustus' meant 'venerable' or 'majestic'.
'Augustinus' changed into Old French and Medieval Latin forms such as 'Augustin' and eventually remained as the modern personal name 'augustin' in several European languages.
Initially, it meant 'belonging to or connected with Augustus' (i.e., 'venerable' or 'majestic'), and over time it evolved into a personal name retaining that honorific association.
