Augusto is Latin in Origin.

Augusto is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of Latin Augustus, the honorific bestowed by the Roman Senate on Octavian in 27 BCE. The Latin adjective augustus meant “venerable, majestic, exalted,” probably from augēre “to increase, prosper,” and associated with auspicious augury in Roman religion. Through the emperor’s fame, the name carried imperial prestige and later lent its title to the month of August.

Used steadily in Southern Europe and across Latin America, Augusto has appeared among statesmen, scientists, footballers, and writers - such as Italian physicist Augusto Righi and Paraguayan novelist Augusto Roa Bastos. Variants and cognates include Augustus, August (English/German/Scandinavian), Auguste (French), and the feminine Augusta; related forms are Agostino (Italian), Agostinho (Portuguese), and Agustín (Spanish). Nicknames include Gus (international) and Guto (Brazil).
