Agostinha is Portuguese in Origin.
Agostinha is the Portuguese feminine form linked to Agostinho, ultimately from Latin Augustinus, a derivative of Augustus. The root conveys “venerable,” “exalted,” or “majestic,” tied to the Latin verb augere, “to increase, to enhance.” In Portuguese, the ending -inha marks the feminine here rather than a mere diminutive, mirroring the adaptation of Augustinus into the Lusophone tradition.
Found in Portugal and across Lusophone communities such as Brazil, Cape Verde, and Angola, Agostinha appears in older parish records and retains a traditional, rare status today, sometimes embraced for its vintage appeal. The name often reflects devotion to Saint Augustine of Hippo (feast day August 28) or connections to the Augustinian order. Related forms and cognates include Augusta and Augustina (Portuguese/English), Augustine (French/English), Agustina (Spanish), Agostina (Italian), and Augustyna (Polish); masculine counterparts are Agostinho, Agustín, Agostino, and Augustin.
