The story of Justyne
Rome gave justice a goddess, Iustitia, and Europe kept her on courthouses with her scales and sword. Her blindfold came much later and began as a joke: in Sebastian Brant's satire The Ship of Fools, a woodcut shows a fool tying a cloth over Justice's eyes, and only afterward did the blindfold come to mean impartiality. The personal name from the same root is Justina, which in Polish became Justyna, an everyday name there. Justyne takes the English Justine and gives it that Polish-looking y.

Fashion outlook
Justyne sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
