Background Story
Justin comes from the Latin name Iustinus, which was derived from Justus. It was borne by several early saints, including Justin Martyr, a Christian philosopher of the 2nd century who was beheaded in Rome, and by two Byzantine emperors. As an English name it was used occasionally from the late Middle Ages but did not become common until the second half of the 20th century. The name is also used in Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish and Welsh, and was borrowed into Serbo-Croatian from Latin.
