Justian is an uncommon yet intriguing male given name of Latin origin. It's derived from the Latin word 'justus', meaning 'just' or 'righteous'. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages, likely due to its association with notable historical figures such as Justin I and Justin II, both Byzantine emperors in the 6th century AD. However, it has not been widely adopted and remains relatively rare today. Justian is often spelled variant ways, including Justine or Justyn, but its original form is Justian. It does not have any associated diminutives or nicknames.
"Justin is quite popular, with a peak in the late '80s and early '90s."
