Short form of AUGUSTUS or GUSTAAF.
 | AUGUSTUS male Ancient Roman, Dutch Means "great" or "venerable", derived from Latin augere "to increase". Augustus was the title given to Octavian, the first Roman emperor. He was the adopted son of Julius Caesar who rose to power through a combination of military skill and political prowess. This was also the name of three kings of Poland. | |||||||||||||||||||

| GUSTAV male Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German Possibly means "staff of the Goths", derived from the Old Norse elements Gautr "Goth" and stafr "staff". However, the root name Gautstafr is not well attested in the Old Norse period. Alternatively, it might be derived from the Slavic name GOSTISLAV. This name has been borne by six kings of Sweden, including the 16th-century Gustav I Vasa. | |||||||||||||||||||
