Gustie

Gustie is a feminine name that typically functions as a diminutive or nickname form of Augusta, Augustina, or other names containing "Gust-" elements. The root name Augusta derives from Latin, meaning "magnificent" or "venerable," with connections to the Roman title "augustus" meaning "esteemed" or "revered." Gustie has a vintage, nostalgic quality that was more common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Though rarely used as a formal given name today, it maintains charm as a nickname. The name carries a friendly, approachable quality while still connecting to its more formal, regal namesake. With the revival of vintage diminutives in recent years, Gustie could potentially see renewed interest, though it remains quite rare. Its short, sweet nature makes it appealing as an affectionate nickname.

Pronounced GUS-tee.

As of October 2026, Gustie ranked #4524 in US births in 1926 SSA, peaked at #985 in 1887.
