History & Origin
Agustus is a variant spelling of Augustus, from the Latin augustus, 'venerable, majestic.' Once an imperial title, it became a stately given name, and this spelling simply drops a letter from the classic form. It stayed uncommon in the United States and keeps its dignified Roman ring.
Agustus appeared in small numbers, peaking around 1992 with still only about fifteen boys a year. A man named Agustus at that peak would be in his thirties today, and the name reads as a grand, old-Roman choice in an easygoing spelling.
