Etymology

Austin is the name of the city in Texas named after Stephen F. Austin, an early leader often called the 'Father of Texas'. The name Austin comes from the older name Augustine, from Latin Augustinus and related to August, which means 'great' or 'respected', so the city's name comes from a respected person's name.
