Augustine is from the Latin *augustus* (majestic, venerable, exalted) — feminine form. **A modern revival name in the broader vintage-Latin aesthetic**. **Augustine as a feminine name** — used historically across French, German, and Spanish-speaking Catholic communities as a feminine form of the masculine Augustine/Augustin; the feminine form has experienced revival in 21st-century English-speaking countries among families seeking distinctive vintage saintly heritage names. **Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430)** — **iconic Christian theologian, philosopher, and bishop**; one of the most-influential figures in Western Christianity and philosophy; his iconic *Confessions* (c. 397-400) is widely considered the first Western autobiography; his iconic *City of God* (413-426) is one of the foundational works of Western political philosophy; recognized as Doctor of the Church by the Catholic Church; one of the foundational Doctors of the Western Christian tradition; appears in countless paintings, sculptures, and stained glass across Europe. **Augustine in modern naming** — the foundational saintly name reflecting the iconic Augustine of Hippo (354-430), Augustine of Canterbury (the foundational apostle to the English), and the broader Augustine tradition; appears across modern American Catholic and broader Christian families. **Princess Augustine** — modern Latin heritage naming. **Augustine of Hippo's mother Saint Monica** was a foundational Christian saint herself.
