Augustine m
English form of the Latin name Augustīnus (a derivative of AUGUSTUS (SEE Augustus)). Its most famous bearer is St Augustine of Hippo (354–430), perhaps the greatest of the Fathers of the Christian Church. He formulated the principles followed by the numerous medieval communities named after him as Austin canons, friars, and nuns. Also important in England was St Augustine of Canterbury, who brought Christianity to Kent in the 6th century. See also AUSTIN (SEE Austin).
