Kusti

  • [ KOOS-tee ]
  • Finnish
Finnish diminutive of KUSTAA or AUKUSTI.

KUSTAA   male   Finnish
Finnish form of GUSTAV.
GUSTAV   male   Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German
Possibly means "staff of the Goths", derived from the Old Norse elements Gautr "Goth" and stafr "staff". However, the root name Gautstafr is not well attested in the Old Norse period. Alternatively, it might be derived from the Slavic name GOSTISLAV. This name has been borne by six kings of Sweden, including the 16th-century Gustav I Vasa.
GOSTISLAV   male   Medieval Slavic
Derived from the Slavic elements gosti "guest" and slava "glory".
AUKUSTI   male   Finnish
Finnish form of AUGUSTUS.
AUGUSTUS   male   Ancient Roman, Dutch
Means "great" or "venerable", derived from Latin augere "to increase". Augustus was the title given to Octavian, the first Roman emperor. He was the adopted son of Julius Caesar who rose to power through a combination of military skill and political prowess. This was also the name of three kings of Poland.
