Agostina is celebrated in Argentina on November 13.
Agostina is the Argentine and Rioplatense version of the name Agustín, which in turn comes from the Latin Augustinus. It means "venerable" or "majestic," and carries that load of classical elegance with a touch of historical strength. It is not a name that screams for attention, but when she enters a room, everyone notices her presence without her having to say a word.
If you were a pet, Agostina would be that cat that seems indifferent but stares at you intently to ask for food. It is a strange mix of serene and determined: she can spend hours reading or planning the future, but if someone touches her territory, beware! She has the gift of listening more than she speaks, which makes her suspicious (and very intelligent) in any group of friends.
