Justine
About Justine
Justine is a French name that's never reached the popularity we think it deserves. Like its far-more-common brother Justin, Justine is sleek, and sophisticated, but still user-friendly.
Justine has had a very erratic popularity path in this country. It first was noticed in the late 1950's via the eponymous novel that was part of Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quarter, but reached its highest peak--at Number 175-- in the eighties, during the TV run of Family Ties, featuring Justine Bateman. Justine is still a Top 60 name in its native France.
Pronounced jus-TEEN.
As of October 2026, Justine ranked #3741 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #176 in 1987, Nameberry popularity #702.
Editor's take: The name Justine is a girl's name of French, Latin origin meaning "fair, righteous".
