Origin and meaning of Augusto

Augusto comes from the Latin augustus, 'venerable, sacred, majestic,' the honorific title taken by Octavian, Rome's first emperor. The name carries an aura of solemnity and imperial grandeur. Common in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Latin America, it has parallel forms such as Auguste in French and August in Germanic countries. With its broad, majestic sound, it evokes authority, dignity and prestige — a name of strong classical stamp, uniting Roman tradition and nobility of character.
