History & Origin

Jastin is a variant spelling of Justin, the English form of the Latin Justinus, 'just, fair, upright,' a name borne by early saints and Roman emperors. The a-spelling records a modern family reshaping the familiar name their own way.

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 2010, while the standard Justin remained far more common. A boy named Jastin would be a teenager or young adult today.

Did you know? Jastin trades the u of Justin for an a, part of a late-century taste for tweaking a single vowel to make a common name look one of a kind.
