Austin
Meaning of Austin
Austin skips onto the scene with a cowboy grin and a Roman crown in his backpack. Rooted in the Latin “Augustinus,” a child of “Augustus,” the name carries the bright meaning of “majestic” or “venerable,” yet it chats like the boy next door. In English it sounds like AW-stin, quick and friendly. He is equally at home on ancient cobblestones and the music-soaked streets of Austin, Texas, so parents hear both history’s trumpet and a modern guitar riff. The charts show he rode a rocket in the 1990s—peaking in the Top 10—then settled into a steady groove just outside the Top 100, proof that classic charm still sparkles without feeling overplayed. For a little one destined to dream big and laugh loud, Austin offers a passport stamped “greatness,” with plenty of room for new adventures.
