Great, magnificent, or venerable
Austan is a rare phonetic variant of Austin, which itself is the medieval vernacular form of the Latin name Augustine. It ultimately derives from the Roman name Augustus, a title given to emperors to signify their exalted status. While less common than the 'i' spelling, this version maintains the same dignified heritage.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Austan in 2025.
