Justin is predominantly a male name in the United States, reaching peak popularity in the 1980s. There are approximately 780,000 people named Justin in the US today.
The name Justin's root letters are JST.
The letter S is the symbol for all things sexy, sassy, sensual, slippery, serpentine and sly, andthe triumphant tones of the letter T are rife with allusions to self-assurance and outspoken confidence. So when these letters occur in names initialized by the judicious and judgmental J, they suggest savvy people with sly senses of humor and bucketsful of common sense. However, some of these JST names (Justin and Justine) are also influenced by the nasal letter N, which is the symbol for all things negative: no, not, never, nada, null, nothing, nada, nyet, and naught. So for all their surface optimism, the Justines and Justins of the world are also prone to bouts of cynicism and occasional emotional outbursts.
Like most people whose names begin with the letter J, Justins aren’t the sort to make waves on their way to achieving their goals. It’s far more important to find the right balance between making money and maintaining their relationships. Because their philosophical aesthetic calls for things to be on an even keel, it’s rare to find Justins rising to any great height in the business world. These are responsible people who often end up as small business owners, mid-level managers, accountants and lawyers.
Justins love to dispense advice whether it’s wanted or not. From their perspective, it couldn’t hurt to have an extra mind working on the problem, and they’re also not too proud to accept help from others when struggling with their issues. JST people can also be counted on to offer a compassionate ear, but don’t expect these commonsensical creatures to play the role of human Kleenexes: they are practically-minded folks who are only interested in dishing out pragmatic and effective advice.
The downside to the JST’s principled outlook is that it borders on being controlling. This doesn’t stem from any particular desire to meddle in the lives of others, but they do have a tendency to micro-manage situations that directly affect those they love. This sometimes-annoying trait is a little more tolerable if you consider that the Justins are exceptionally good tacticians who can see things that most of us can’t anticipate.
When it comes to their love lives, Justins are conscientious about expressing their emotional needs and quickly learn that communication is at the heart of a successful relationship. Still, the Justins’ mates are going to need a thicker skin than most, inasmuch as Justins are quite liberal when it comes to pointing out their mates’ shortcomings.
