Youstina
A girl's name of Latin origin with 22 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Youstina peaked during the Gen Z era, when 7 babies received this name in a single year (2012). That era was defined by globally influenced, diversity-driven naming, and Youstina has a more concentrated history, reflecting a specific cultural moment rather than a broad generational wave.
Youstina is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Youstina is a rare variant spelling of Justina, the feminine form of Justin — from the Latin iustus, meaning "just" or "righteous." Justina was the name of several early Christian martyrs and saints, giving the name a long history in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
The Y- and -ou- spelling gives Youstina a distinctive Coptic or Eastern European appearance, suggesting it may have been used in Egyptian Coptic Christian communities, where Justina/Youstina is a recognized saint's name.
