(Middle name) Probably derived from the English surname Austin, which is a shortened form of the Latin Augustus which means "great".

(Last name) Rivera is a surname of Spanish and Italian origin which was the old spelling of Ribera, the Spanish word for "riverbank". Rivera is also a northern Italian variation of the mostly Sicilian surname "Ribera".
