Austen is associated with the meaning “Majestic, venerable, dignified” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Austen is an English variation of Augustine, which comes from the Latin name Augustinus. That Latin root traces back to Augustus, meaning "great," "venerable," or "majestic." The Romans used Augustus as a title of honor, reserved for emperors and respected figures. Austen carries that same weight, just in a quieter, more modern package.
