The story of Augustina
Augustine of Hippo is one of the most-read writers in western history, and his name spread with his books; a second Augustine converted the English and became archbishop of Canterbury. The feminine forms are ordinary across Catholic Europe: Agostina in Italy, Agustina in Spain, Augustyna in Poland. Augustina was widely given in American records around the turn of the twentieth century, often in German, Polish and Italian families, and has been quiet since.
Meaning
venerable; worthy of honor
Latin augustus, majestic or consecrated, from a root about increase and augury. The Senate gave it to Octavian as a title in 27 BC, and the month of August is named for the same man.
