Augustus Family History
Augustus Name Meaning
Humanistic re-creation of the Latin personal name Augustus
on the basis of its medieval vernacular derivatives, principally
August. The Latin name is from an adjective meaning
‘venerable’, from augere ‘to increase’. Examples include
German, Dutch, and Scandinavian August (though the family name
does not exist in Scandinavia), French Auguste, Italian
Agosto, and Portuguese Augusto. The month of August was
named in honor of the Emperor Augustus (63 bc–ad
14), after whom it became conventional for Roman emperors to adopt
Augustus as a title on their accession. The personal name
became popular among early Christians, who read into it the
implication that the bearer had become greater by being baptized.
