Gustie is in Origin.

Gustie (pronounced GUST-ee) is a diminutive used in English for several August/Gust- names. It stems from Latin Augusta “venerable, majestic” and from the Old Norse–derived Germanic Gustav/Gustavus, interpreted as “staff of the Geats/Goths” or “royal staff.” As a nickname it has been applied to both sexes - most often to Augusta or Augustina on the feminine side and to Gustav, Gustave, or Augustus on the masculine.

In the United States and the British Isles, Gustie appears in 19th–early 20th‑century records, especially among families of German, Scandinavian, and Central European origin, and is occasionally bestowed as an independent given name. Variant forms and cognates include Gussie, Gusti, Gusty, Gus, Gusta, Augusta, August, Auguste, Augustine, Augustina, Gustav, Gustave, Gustaf, and Swedish Gösta. The cheerful, homespun feel of Gustie keeps the stately meanings of its roots while softening them into an approachable, vintage nickname.
