What is the meaning of the name Justine ?

The baby name Justine is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EN: /dʒʌˈstiːn/ (juh-STEEN); FR: /ʒystin/ (zhy-STEN).

Justine is Latin in Origin.

Justine is the French and English feminine form of Justin, ultimately from Latin Iustina/Iustinus, derived from iustus, meaning "just, upright, righteous." It gained traction across medieval Christendom through the cults of saints named Justina (notably of Padua and Antioch), and the sleek French form Justine settled as the standard in France before crossing into English use. The name saw periodic revivals, including an 18th-century literary vogue, and climbed in late 20th century popularity in France and in the United States, where it peaked in the 1980s-90s.

Variants and cognates include Justina (English, Spanish, Portuguese), Giustina (Italian), Justyna (Polish), Iustina/Justina (Romanian), and Yustina (Russian); the masculine counterpart is Justin. Literary touchstones include Sade's Justine (1791) and Lawrence Durrell's Justine (1957), which helped cement its cultured, cosmopolitan aura. The core meaning links the name to ideals of fairness, integrity, and sound judgment.
