Augustas is in Origin.
Augustas is the standard Lithuanian form of Latin Augustus, the honorific adopted by Rome’s first emperor. The Latin adjective augustus meant “venerable, majestic, exalted,” and is traced to augere “to increase, to make grow,” giving the name connotations of dignity and flourishing. Through classical learning and Christian-era Latin, the root spread across Europe; the emperor’s prestige also lent his title enduring appeal, echoed in the month name August in many languages.
Used in Lithuania since the late 19th–20th centuries, Augustas aligns with the country’s taste for revived classical and pan-European names and has seen steady modern use. Close variants include Augustus (Latin/English), August (German/Scandinavian), Auguste (French, German), and Augusto (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese); feminine counterparts are Augusta, Augustė, and Augustina. Related Lithuanian forms include Augustinas (from Augustine). Common diminutives and nicknames are Augis and Gustas in Lithuanian, with Gus familiar internationally.
