Justus is Latin in Origin.
From Latin Iustus, Justus means “just, righteous,” a moral epithet that became a given name in the Roman world. The New Testament mentions multiple bearers - Joseph Barsabbas called Justus (Acts 1:23), Jesus called Justus (Col 4:11), and Titius/Titus Justus (Acts 18:7) - and numerous late-antique and medieval saints (notably Justus of Lyons and the 7th-century Archbishop of Canterbury) helped entrench it across Christian Europe. Humanist and Reformation circles revived the learned Latin form in German- and Dutch-speaking lands and sporadically in England and colonial America.
International variants include Justo (Spanish/Portuguese), Giusto (Italian), Juste (French), Just (German/Scandinavian), and Justas (Lithuanian). Related forms are Justinus and its offshoot Justin; feminine counterparts include Justina, Justine, Giustina, and Justa. Diminutives such as Jus and Justy occur in English. Today Justus feels scholarly and virtuous, yet accessible and familiar across languages.
