What Augustyn means

Where Augustyn comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.

Augustyn comes from the Latin Augustinus, a form built on augustus, which meant venerable and majestic. The word once marked whatever deserved reverence, and it gave Rome the title of its first emperor and the name of a late-summer month. Polish took the name and held onto the sense: wyniosły, dostojny.

The best-known bearer is Augustine of Hippo, the fourth-century bishop whose Confessions are still read. His feast on the 28th of August became the Polish imieniny for Augustyn, so a boy with the name meets it every year at the close of summer.

The name travels in a small family. The shorter August stands as its own variant, and Augusta serves as the feminine form. On a class register you might find an Augustyn seated beside an August, the longer name and its trimmed cousin. What holds them together is the Latin root, still meaning venerable.
