Description:
The name is Austin, not Austin Powers. Nowadays this popular boys' name is most likely associated with the James Bond spoof rather than the Texas city, but that doesn't seem to be keeping hoards of parents from naming their sons Austin. A short version of the staid Augustine, Austin means "great one"—now what little boy wouldn't love that meaning?
