Origin and meaning
just, fair, or righteous (Latin)
Justin comes from the Latin 'Justinus', which is built on the root 'justus' (upright, just). Historically associated with early Christian martyrs, its modern prominence in the Philippines is heavily driven by 20th-century Western and American pop culture rather than direct Spanish adoption, where the equivalent was Justino.
Derived from the Latin name Justinus, a derivative of Justus meaning 'just' or 'fair'. In the Philippines, the name became highly popular primarily through American English naming practices in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
