Austynn is a modern English respelling of Austin, itself the medieval vernacular form of Augustine (Latin Augustinus), from Augustus (“venerable, majestic; exalted”), ultimately from Latin augere “to increase.” The spelling with -ynn introduces a contemporary, stylistically feminine touch while keeping the Austin pronunciation.

Austin appears in English records from the 13th century, borne by saints and scholars via St. Augustine of Hippo and Canterbury, then waned before 19th‑century revival. In the United States it surged in the late 20th century; creative unisex spellings - Austyn and Austynn among them - gained traction in the 1990s–2010s. Variants and related forms include Austin, Austen, Austyn, Austine (historical feminine), Augustine/Augustin, Augustus, August, and international equivalents like Auguste and Agostino. Meaning across forms centers on “venerable,” “great,” and “majestic.”
