Meaning and background
The story behind Augustine
Augustine has separate well-documented uses as an English masculine name and as a French feminine form. Both ultimately belong to the Roman Augustus family. The Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo and Augustine of Canterbury are particularly important historical English-language associations. Because French and English pronunciations differ, a pet-name record should identify the language rather than print one universal spoken form.
