Justin

2 syllablesTrend: down

From Latin Justinus, 'just' or 'righteous'

Justin descends from the Latin Justinus, a derivative of justus, "just" or "righteous," a name worn by a second-century philosopher-martyr and by the Byzantine emperor Justinian whose legal code still underpins much of Western law. America met Justin again and again: Timberlake's falsetto, Bieber's teen takeover, Trudeau's Canadian premiership. The name peaked in the top 10 in the late 1980s and eased down to its current rank of 199, right at the edge of the top 200. Two syllables, clean as they come. Justin feels like a name that knows its way around, familiar, smart, a solid handshake. Approachable, enduring, pleasantly unflashy.
