Agostine is Latin in Origin.
Agostine is a Romance variant of Augustine, ultimately from the Latin Augustinus, a name formed from Augustus, the imperial title meaning "venerable, exalted, majestic." In Italian the standard forms are Agostino (m.) and Agostina (f.), while Agostine appears in dialectal and regional records - especially in Corsican, Sardinian, and southern Italian contexts - as a softened or feminized spelling. The sense across all forms points to dignity, reverence, and greatness.
Use of the broader Augustine family was propelled by the fame of Saint Augustine of Hippo in late antiquity and by medieval monastic orders bearing his rule; it also spread via Augustine of Canterbury in England. Though Agostine itself remains rare, it surfaces in parish registers and modern civil records as a crossover option. Related variants include Augustine/Augustin (English/French), Agostino/Agostina (Italian), Agustín/Agustina (Spanish), Augustin/Augustina (German, Slavic), and diminutives or cognates such as Austin, Tino, Tina, Gus, and Gussie.
