Augustyna is Polish in Origin.

Augustyna is the Polish feminine form related to Latin Augustina and to Augustyn (the Polish Augustine). It ultimately derives from Latin augustus, “venerable, majestic,” from augere, “to increase.” The name conveys senses of “great,” “majestic,” or “august,” blending imperial Roman prestige through the title Augustus with Christian resonance via St. Augustine.

Usage in Poland is documented from the early modern period, especially among devout Catholic families and in Augustinian circles. The name saw modest use in the 19th and early 20th centuries and is now rare but ripe for revival. Variants and cognates include Augustina (English, German, Scandinavian, Lithuanian), Agostina (Italian, Spanish), Avgustina/Avgustyna (Russian, Belarusian), Avhustyna (Ukrainian), with Augusta and feminine Augustine as close relatives. Common short forms: Tina, Ina, Tyna, Gusta, Gusti. Masculine counterparts are Augustyn, Augustin, Augustine, and August. In Poland, a name day is often kept on 28 August, the feast of St. Augustine.
