Justin

Justin comes from the Latin name Iustinus, a derivative of Iustus, meaning just or righteous, rooted in the concept of law and fairness. The name was borne by several early Christian martyrs and theologians, most notably Justin Martyr, a second-century philosopher and apologist, which helped spread its use throughout the medieval Christian world. It gained renewed popularity in the twentieth century across English-speaking countries. Related forms include Justinian, Justinus, and the feminine variants Justine and Justina.
