What is the meaning of the name Agus ?

The baby name Agus is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Indonesian: /ˈaɡus/ (AH-goos).

Agus is Indonesian in Origin.

Agus is a cross-cultural given name, most common in Indonesia and as a nickname in Spanish-speaking countries. In Indonesia it functions both as a stand‑alone masculine name and as a clipped form of Agustinus or names referencing the month Agustus; its appeal also overlaps with the Javanese Bagus (“handsome”), though the etymology is distinct. In Hispanic usage, Agus is a familiar short form for Agustín or Agustina. When derived from Agustín/Agustinus, it inherits the Latin Augustus, meaning “venerable, exalted.”

Usage grew in the 20th century with the global preference for concise, modern-sounding names; today Agus is common across Indonesia and appears as a friendly short form in Spanish-speaking communities worldwide. Related formal variants include August, Auguste, Augusto, Augustin/Augustine, Agustín, Agustinus, Augusta, and Agustina; common nicknames are Agus and Gus. Note that Angus/Aonghus is a separate Gaelic name, historically unrelated despite the shared diminutive Gus.
