Meaning & History：

Finnish diminutive of KUSTAA or AUKUSTI.

KUSTAA male Finnish

Finnish form of GUSTAV.

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.

GOSTISLAV male Medieval Slavic

Derived from the Slavic elements gosti "guest" and slava "glory".

AUKUSTI male Finnish

Finnish form of AUGUSTUS.

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.
