Giustina is Italian in Origin.

Giustina is the Italian feminine form of Latin Iustina, itself the feminine of Iustinus, from iustus “just, upright, fair.” The initial giu- reflects the Italian evolution of Latin ius- to gius-. As a virtue name, it conveys moral rectitude and impartiality.

Usage is anchored in Late Antiquity through saints such as Justina of Padua - whose cult inspired the Abbey of Santa Giustina - and Justina of Antioch, giving the name prominence in medieval northern Italy, especially Veneto. It appears in Renaissance records and persisted into the early 20th century, now rare but occasionally chosen in vintage revivals. International counterparts and variants include Justina (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Lithuanian), Justine (French/English), Justyna (Polish), Iustina (Romanian), and Yustina/Ustina (Slavic). Italian short forms include Tina and Ina; the masculine is Giustino. Overall meaning centers on “righteous, just,” aligning Giustina with the long European tradition of names derived from classical virtues.
