August is an English name meaning "exalted, venerable" from the Latin augustus meaning "venerable, majestic, magnificent, noble". It may also be from the Latin augere meaning "to increase". The month of August was called Sextilis until the name was changed to honor Augustus Caesar.

A girl would be called "Aggie" and a boy would be "Gus".
