Help[Facts] A German form of Justin?
The German language has no direct translation of Justin but I've been piecing together possible indirect translations. Does anyone have any ideas as to the closest translation?
Thank you

Hi Justin,
Justin is a Latin name. It's used both in English and in German. The German pronunciation is YOOS-teen [oo short like in 'book'], while the English is JUS-tin. Other forms used in Germany are e.g.:
Just m. (YOOST) -[oo short like in 'book']
Justina f. (yoo-STEE-nah) -[oo short like in 'book']
Justinian m. (yoo-STEE-nee-ahn) -[oo short like in 'book']
Justinianus m.(yoo-stee-nee-AH-nous) -[oo short like in 'book']
Justinus m. (YOO-stee-noos or yoo-STEE-noos) -[oo short like in 'book']
Justus m. (YOOS-toos) -[oo short like in 'book']
During the last few years, Justin pronounced the English way has become quite popular in Germany, too.
Regards, Satu
