Juventin is Latin in Origin.

Juventin derives from Latin Iuventinus, a derivative of Iuventas/Iuventus “youth,” built with the suffix -inus meaning “pertaining to.” It thus carries the sense “youthful,” “of youth,” or “dedicated to Juventas,” the Roman goddess of youth. The classical spelling with initial Iu- later shifted to Ju- in Romance languages, yielding forms such as Juventin beside longer survivals.

Borne in late antiquity by Saint Iuventinus of Antioch, martyred under Julian (AD 363), the name entered Christian calendars and occasional local cults. In modern times it is rare in Europe but survives in Romance contexts. Variants include Latin Iuventinus/Juventinus; Spanish/Portuguese Juventino; Spanish diminutive Juventín or Juventin; related cognate Juventius (Italian Giovenzio). The feminine is Juventina. Informal nicknames include Juve and Tino. Use is scattered in Iberia and Latin America - especially Mexico - and in the Philippines, often as a heritage or saint’s name, now perceived as vintage yet spirited.
