Justo is Spanish in Origin.
Justo is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Latin Justus (iustus), meaning “just, fair, righteous.” Cognates include Italian Giusto, French Juste, Catalan Just, and the ecclesiastical Latin/English Justus; the feminine counterpart is Justa. The name reflects a virtue-root prized in early Christian naming. Meaning centers on justice, fairness, and moral rectitude.
Borne by numerous saints - Saint Justus of Lyon, Justus of Canterbury, and the child martyr San Justo of Alcalá (with Pastor) - it spread throughout the Roman and later Iberian worlds. In Iberia and Latin America, Justo persisted through the colonial era and survives today as a traditional, if rare, choice; notable bearers include Argentine statesman Justo José de Urquiza and Mexican educator Justo Sierra. Diminutives/short forms include Justi and Justito; related names are Justus and, by extension, Justin/Justino.
