ArchivesItalian form of Augustine/Augustus?
I was just wondering if someone knows the proper Italian form of the name Augustine or Augustus?
My grandmother is normally my source for these things but she is away right now in Tunisia for a couple months.
Soooo I tried looking in the Database here and they have Augusto listed and Agostino. But I have also seen Augustino, I thought this was the spelling with the U and Agustino.
Does anyone know if there are just a few different possible spellings or is one the traditional?
Thanks!

I can't really help you, but I know that -ino is a diminuitive ending in Italian. So Augustino could simply be a diminuitive of Augusto (Italian form of the Latin name Augustus), while Agostino is what the Latin name Augustinus has developed into.
Just a guess.
