Gusttavo is Germanic, Norse in Origin.
Gusttavo is a modern Brazilian respelling of Gustavo, the Portuguese and Spanish form of the pan-European name Gustav/Gustaf. The root is Old Norse - likely from Gautr (“Geat/Goth”) + stafr (“staff, support”) - yielding meanings such as “staff of the Goths,” “support of the Geats,” or, by extension, “royal staff.” The sense of steadfast guidance helped the name travel widely across Scandinavia and continental Europe.
Long borne by Swedish kings (notably Gustav I Vasa and Gustav II Adolf), the name entered German (Gustav), French (Gustave), and then Iberian usage as Gustavo, which spread to Latin America. Gusttavo retains the same pronunciation as Gustavo in Brazilian Portuguese and rose to visibility in the 2010s via pop culture, especially singer Gusttavo Lima. Common variants and nicknames include Gustav, Gustaf, Gustave, Gustavo, and diminutives Gus (English), Guga (Brazilian Portuguese), Tavo (Spanish), and Gustl (German). Rare feminine counterparts are Gustava and Gustavina.
