Iestin is Welsh in Origin.

Iestin is the Welsh form of a name ultimately from Latin Iustinus, derived from iustus ‘just, fair, righteous’. Via early Christian influence, the Latin was adapted into Welsh as Iestyn; Iestin is a historical and modern spelling variant found in north Wales and in medieval records.

The name is well attested in Welsh tradition: Saint Iestyn, patron of Llaniestyn (Anglesey and Llŷn), and the 11th–12th‑century ruler Iestyn ap Gwrgan of Morgannwg, helped anchor it in local history. Though Iestyn remains the dominant form today, Iestin occurs as a less common alternative. Related or cognate forms include English/French Justin, Latin Justinus, Breton Jestin, and modern spellings such as Justyn; feminine counterparts are Justine and Justina. The core meaning centers on moral uprightness and equity - ‘just’ in the ethical and legal sense - giving the name a quietly principled character.
