      The name Faustinus is derived from the Latin name Faustus, which translates to fortunate or auspicious. This etymology conveys a sense of luck and blessing associated with the name. The suffix -inus often denotes lineage or connection in Latin, lending an additional layer of meaning that implies a continuation or heritage of fortune.
