About Austin
Austin is one of the most attractive city names for babies, with an appealing southwestern feel and place-name panache.
Austin for boys#113 US
Austin has been an Anglo-Saxon surname and a first name since medieval times. Austin reached the Top 10 in the 1990s, but in 2022 slipped out of the US Top 100 for boys.
Literary namesakes include Austin Sloper in Henry James' novel Washington Square, and there have been several Austins in soap operas and films.
The Austen spelling is also used fairly evenly for boys and girls, sometimes as an homage to Jane Austen.
Austin for girls#1810 US
More often used as a boys' name, parents have also been choosing Austin for their little girls - as the 176 female Austins born in the US in 2022 demonstrate. May we suggest the literary version "Austen" for girls, as a well-deserved homage to the famed English author Jane Austen?
Pronounced AW-stin.
