Justin
Justin ♂ English form of the Latin name Justinus, a derivative of Justus. The name was borne by various early saints, notably a 2nd-century Christian apologist and a (possibly spurious) boy martyr of the 3rd century. Justin has enjoyed considerable popularity since the second half of the 20th century, reinforced latterly perhaps by the popularity of American singer Justin Timberlake (b. 1981).
Variant: Justyn. |
