Augusten is a unique and distinctive given name, of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word 'Augustus,' which means 'great' or 'venerable.' It was popular among Roman emperors, notably Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of the Roman Empire. In some cultures, Augusten may be associated with the month of August, which takes its name from Augustus himself due to his birth month being Sextilis, later renamed August in his honor. The name has been used historically and is still occasionally encountered today, offering a classic yet unusual choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"Augusten saw its popularity peak in 2015 with 16 births, but it has generally maintained a steady presence since 2006, with an overall total of 115 births."
