Meaning of Justine

Justine is a feminine given name rooted in the Latin Justinus—derived from justitia, the Roman concept of justice—and literally means “just” or “fair.” It entered European usage through medieval France and is historically linked to the early Christian apologist Justin Martyr. In the United States, Justine rose steadily in the late 20th century, securing a spot among the top 200 names during the 1980s before settling at 906th in 2024. Pronounced juhs-TEEN, the name blends classical gravitas with a succinct, contemporary resonance.
