The name "Austin" originates from the Latin name "Augustinus," which is derived from "Augustus," meaning "great" or "magnificent." It became popular in the English-speaking world due to Saint Augustine of Hippo, an early Christian theologian. The name was later adopted as a given name and has been used as a surname as well. Austin is also associated with Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas," which contributed to its prominence in the United States.
