My Name

   I think my name, Justin, is as plain as white bread. You pronounce it Jus-tin. It is of Latin origin and is a variant of Justus. There are eighteen different forms of Justin. The name Justin means just, upright, and righteous. Justin is a very popular name for males. As of 2012, it is fifty six out of one thousand two hundred twenty for popular names, which is a drop because in 1990 it was number one. Justin is also a popular last name, twelve thousand eight hundred twelve out of eighty eight thousand seven hundred ninety nine. The name Justin has been used since the late middle ages, but did not become common until the twentieth century. Justin was a popular name among the early Christians because it embodies "fairness", one of the Christian principles. The name Justin is celebrated as a Saint Day on January first by the Catholic church, also celebrated on September seventeenth by the Catholic church in honor of St. Justin.
   I'm the first person in my family to have the name Justin. I was named this because my parents both liked the name. I also like my name, when I hear somebody say it, my face lights up like the sun.
