Gautstafr

Old Norse form (possibly) of GUSTAV. This form is only attested in the Old Norse period belonging to a horse.

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".
