Gustin is a unique and distinctive male given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word "justus," which means "just" or "righteous." The name Gustin is believed to have been popularized by Saint Gustinus, also known as Saint Vincent of Saragossa, who was a deacon in the 3rd century and is considered a patron saint of Lisbon. Throughout history, the name has been associated with several notable figures, including Gustin Lavoie, a Canadian musician, and Gustinus Lavinius, a Roman poet of the 1st century AD. Despite its rich history and meaningful origin, Gustin remains relatively uncommon today, making it an appealing choice for parents looking for a distinctive name for their son.
