Comments (Meaning / History Only)

Austen is not a modern invention- quite the opposite. Austen has been used as a first name for boys for hundreds of years! I had a German relative in the early 1800's whose name was Augusten, and he went exclusively by Austen. My husband and I will be naming our first born son Austen. We prefer the spelling and pronunciation over Austin.
