Gusti" is of Latin origin and means "spirit" or "ghost". It was popularized by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, who used it as the nickname for his opera character Rigoletto's daughter, Gilda. The name Gusti also has roots in Swedish and Norwegian culture, where it is often used as a diminutive form of Gustaf/Gustav. In these Scandinavian contexts, Gusti may convey a sense of familiarity or affection due to its use as a shortened form.
"The name Guston was chosen for only five newborns in 2008."
