Origin: Latin

Meaning: Upright, just

There's something classic and strong about Latin names, and Justus is no exception. This boy's name means "upright” or “just” and comes from the Latin word iustus. It's a variation of the name Justin, so it's ideal if you want something that sounds similar but feels more distinctive. Justus was also the last name of Joseph Barsabbas in the Christian Bible, who was considered a replacement for Judas Iscariot in Jesus' circle of apostles.
