Resumo
- No one named Justin appears in the Bible, and the name has no Hebrew meaning.
- Justin comes from the Roman name Iustinus, formed from Iustus, “just, lawful, upright.”
- Three New Testament men are called Justus: Joseph Barsabbas, who lost the lot to Matthias (Acts 1:23–26); Titius Justus of Corinth (Acts 18:7); and Jesus called Justus (Colossians 4:11).
- In the Latin Vulgate, iustus is the word for “the righteous,” as in Romans 1:17.
- Justin Martyr, born around 100 in Samaria, defended the faith in his Apologies and was beheaded in Rome around 165; his feast is 1 June.
- Justin ranked among the 20 most popular American boys’ names every year from 1980 to 2000, peaking at 7th in 1988.
