Guss is in Origin.
Guss is a phonetic variant of Gus, the long-standing nickname for several classical and Germanic names. From Latin Augustus and Augustine it carries the sense "majestic, venerable", while the Scandinavian and German Gustav or Gustavus contribute the meaning "staff or support of the Goths." In Scotland and Ireland, Gus also shortens Angus (Aonghus), interpreted as "one strength" or "one choice." As a standalone given name, Guss keeps the brisk, one-syllable punch while hinting at these layered origins.
The double-s spelling appears in late 19th- and early 20th-century U.S. records, sometimes overlapping with the German surname Guss. Common related forms include Gus, Gust, and Gussy; longer counterparts are Augustus, August, Auguste, Augustine or Augustin, Augusto or Agustín, Gustav, Gustaf, Gustavo, and Angus. Feminine parallels include Augusta, Augustine, Augustina, and Auguste. Today Guss reads vintage yet friendly, a compact bridge to grander classics or Nordic stalwarts.
