The name comes from the Latin title Augustus, which was originally an honorific in ancient Rome meaning venerable or majestic. The title was famously borne by the first Roman emperor, and from there it entered later European naming traditions as a prestigious personal name. Over centuries the form has taken several shapes in different languages, such as Augustus, Augustin and Augusto.

In English-speaking contexts the family of names around Augustus has been used steadily from the medieval period through to modern times, often in families who favour classical or traditional names. The spelling Agustus appears as a variant spelling of the Latin-root name. It is less common than the standard spelling but remains recognisable because of its close link to the well known forms. Usage today tends to emphasise a vintage, slightly formal feel while still allowing friendly short forms for daily life.
