Faustín is Latin in Origin.
Faustín is a Spanish rendering of the Romance name Faustin, ultimately from the Latin cognomen Faustinus, derived from Faustus “fortunate, auspicious, favored.” The acute accent signals final stress in Spanish and also aligns with regional -ín diminutive patterns, so the name can be read either as a Hispanized Faustin or as a cozy offshoot of Faustino. Its core meaning centers on luck and good omens.
The name has deep Christian and classical roots: several early saints and martyrs bore Faustinus, notably the brothers Faustinus and Jovita of Brescia, whose feast on February 15 sustained usage in Catholic countries. In the Francophone world it appears as Faustin - most famously Emperor Faustin I of Haiti. Established variants include Latin Faustinus; Italian and Iberian Faustino; Spanish Faustín; French and Romanian Faustin; and Polish Faustyn. Feminine counterparts are Fausta, Faustina, and Faustyna. Common nicknames include Tino and, regionally, Tín.
We can't find Faustín in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. Most often that means a rare name, a regional or heritage one, or a recent coinage. Either way, it's a name very few children share.
