Justin is a masculine given name of Latin origin. It is the anglicized form of the Latin given name Justinus, a derivative of Justus, meaning "just", "fair", or "righteous". Justinus was the name borne by various early saints, notably a 2nd-century Christian apologist and a 3rd-century martyr. The name is also related to the similar Latin name Justinian. As an English name, Justin is common, particularly in the English-speaking world starting in the latter half of the 20th century.
