Gustaff Origin and Meaning

The name Gustaff is a boy's name of Dutch origin.

Gustaff represents a variation of the classic name Gustav, which has Germanic origins meaning 'staff of the Goths' or 'royal staff.' This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining its strong historical connections. Gustav has been popular throughout Scandinavian countries and Germany for centuries, borne by Swedish kings and notable figures like composer Gustav Mahler. The Gustaff variant, while less common, carries the same associations of strength, leadership, and nobility. It conveys a sense of traditional masculinity blended with a touch of uniqueness through its spelling modification, appealing to parents who appreciate classical names with a subtle twist.
