Augustus is a classic and distinguished Roman name that means "great" or "venerable." Derived from the Latin word 'augustus,' it was initially used as an honorific title given to the first Roman emperor, Gaius Octavius, who later became known as Augustus Caesar. The name has been popular among rulers throughout history, including several Roman emperors and other notable figures. It is also the origin of various related names such as August, Augustine, Austen, and Augusta. Despite its regal roots, Augustus remains a timeless and elegant choice for a first name.
