Augustyn Spelling Variations

Augustyn has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Many variations of the name Augustyn have been found, including Augustine, Augustin, Augustyn, Awgustyn and others.

Migration of the Augustyn family

In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Augustyns to arrive on North American shores: George Augustin, who sailed to Philadelphia in 1820; J.A. Augustin to Baltimore in 1820; Henry Augustine to New York in 1821; John Augustine to New York in 1823.
