Etymology 1

From Latin Augustīnus, derivative of Augustus. Doublet of Austin.

Augustine

1. A male given name from Latin, notably borne by Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430), a church father and a writer.

     The ordo amoris can be conceptualized as a series of concentric circles radiating outward from ourselves, beginning with loving God, who is, as Augustine put it, “closer to us than we are to ourselves,” and ending with loving the rest of the world outside our own country.
