What does Austin mean?
/ˈɔstɪn/2 syllablesOrigin: Old French and a surname

Austin developed as a medieval short form of Augustine, itself from the Latin Augustus, meaning 'majestic' or 'venerable.' It began as a given name before becoming an English surname, and it still carries the warmth of its Augustus roots today.

Austin sounds friendly and down-to-earth, equally at home on a laid-back dog who loves people or a cat with quiet, easy confidence.
