Faustina the Lesbian Astronaut Art Print - Sapphic Wall Art

Origin of the Name Faustina

The name Faustina has its roots in ancient Rome, where it was used as a feminine form of the Roman cognomen Faustinus. Faustinus, in turn, was derived from the Latin word "faustus," meaning "lucky" or "auspicious". The name Faustina was popular during the Roman era and was borne by several notable figures, including Roman empresses and saints.

Meaning of Faustina

Faustina is derived from the Latin word "faustus," which means "fortunate" or "enjoying good luck". This connection to fortune and auspiciousness is a key aspect of the name's meaning and connotations. The name is often associated with a sense of grace, elegance, and timelessness.

Cultural History of Faustina

Faustina has been the name of several influential figures throughout history. Notably, it was the name of two Roman empresses: Faustina the Elder and Faustina the Younger. Faustina the Elder, also known as Annia Galeria Faustina, was the wife of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius and was commemorated in certain Renaissance depictions as a “model wife”. Her daughter, Faustina the Younger, was the wife of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

In more recent history, the name Faustina was taken by Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun known for her visions of Jesus and her role in the establishment of the Divine Mercy devotion in the Catholic Church.

The name has also been borne by several artists and performers, including Italian opera singer Faustina Bordoni and Anglo-American organist and composer Faustina Hasse Hodges.

The name Faustina is also used in various languages, including Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, and continues to be associated with fortune and auspiciousness.

🧚‍♂️ This gal's AI... I started experimenting with Midjourney in early 2023. And when I say ‘experimenting’, I mean obsessively spending hours (and hours) each day for months making AI art.

It felt natural reimagining queers from history we’ll never know. Blending styles and references I've always loved to make them the centre of the universe... where they belong.

And to be clear, I never use other artist’s names in my prompts unless their works are out of copyright. Ever. Want to know more? Email me: info@tobyleon.com — happy to answer any questions you may have ✨
