Auston Origin and Meaning

The name Auston is a boy's name.

Auston is a masculine name representing a modern variation of the classic Austin. While maintaining the distinguished feel of its original form, Auston offers a subtle twist with its 'o' spelling. The name derives from the medieval diminutive form of Augustine, with roots in Latin 'augustus' meaning 'great' or 'venerable.' This variation emerged as parents sought ways to personalize traditional names while preserving their essence. Auston projects strength and refinement with a contemporary edge. Though less common than Austin, it has gained modest popularity in recent decades, particularly in North America. The name carries connotations of dignity and accomplishment while its distinctive spelling helps bearers stand out in professional and social settings.
