Augustinas is Lithuanian in Origin.

Augustinas is the Lithuanian masculine form of Augustine, from Latin Augustinus, itself derived from Augustus meaning “venerable,” “majestic,” or “exalted.” The root connects to Latin augere, “to increase,” conveying growth and dignity. In Lithuanian, the -inas ending integrates the name into native masculine patterns while preserving its ecclesiastical and classical character.

Carried across Europe through the influence of Saint Augustine of Hippo (commemorated on August 28, often observed as a name day), Augustinas entered Lithuanian use with Christianization and maintained visibility in public life; one notable bearer is statesman Augustinas Voldemaras. International variants include Augustine and Austin (English), Augustin (French, Czech, Slovak), Augustín (Spanish), Agostino (Italian), Agostinho (Portuguese), Augustyn (Polish), Augustijn (Dutch), and Avgustin (Slavic). Related Lithuanian forms are Augustas (from Augustus) and the feminine Augustina and Augustė. Common Lithuanian diminutives include Gustas.
