Augustine

  1. A male given name from Latin, notably borne by Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430), a church father and a writer.
    • 2025 February 11, Richard Clements, “First, Love Locally: JD Vance and ‘Ordo Amoris’”, in Word on Fire[1], archived from the original on 15 February 2025:
      The ordo amoris can be conceptualized as a series of concentric circles radiating outward from ourselves, beginning with loving God, who is, as Augustine put it, “closer to us than we are to ourselves,” and ending with loving the rest of the world outside our own country.
