Awsta is the Welsh feminine form of Augusta, ultimately from the Latin honorific Augustus meaning 'venerable, exalted' or 'majestic.' The spelling reflects Welsh orthography, mirroring Awst, the Welsh name of the month August, and standing alongside the masculine Awstin (Augustine/Austin). Through the Roman imperial title, the name carries associations of dignity and authority.

In use, Awsta appears in Welsh-language sources as a vernacular rendering of women called Augusta and has seen occasional modern revival among families seeking a distinctly Welsh twist on a classical name. Close variants include Augusta (English, Scandinavian), Auguste (German, French), Augustine (English, French), Agustina (Spanish), and Agostina (Italian), with diminutives such as Gussie, Gusta, and Gusti; related male forms are Austin, Augustine, and August. The core meaning remains 'venerable' or 'exalted,' making Awsta a compact, heritage-rich choice with a quietly regal tone.
