What is the meaning of the name Justina ?

The baby name Justina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒəˈstiːnə/ (juh-STEEN-uh).

Justina is Latin in Origin.

Justina is the feminine form of the Roman cognomen Justinus, ultimately from Latin iustus, meaning "just, righteous, fair." It circulated in the Late Roman Empire and gained Christian favor through saints such as Justina of Antioch and Giustina of Padua, helping the name travel across the Mediterranean and into medieval Europe. Use persisted in Italy and Iberia, with a modest revival in English-speaking countries during the 19th century.

International variants include Justine (English/French), Giustina (Italian), Justyna (Polish), Justīne (Latvian), Iustina (Romanian), Yustina/Юстина (Russian), Justína (Slovak), and Justýna (Czech), while Spanish, Portuguese, and Lithuanian retain Justina. Diminutives range from Tina, Justi/Justy, and Jussy to Polish Justynka and Lithuanian Justė. Usage today is familiar yet relatively uncommon in the Anglophone world, with stronger continuity in Eastern Europe and the Baltics; the name’s core sense evokes fairness, integrity, and moral clarity.
