Meaning & origin
Agusta is a rare feminine name that saw modest use in the late 19th century, with its peak year in 1884. It has never ranked in the top 1000 and appears in historical records as a variant of the more common Augusta. The name's trajectory is stable, indicating infrequent but consistent use across decades. Its top states of usage are not recorded, suggesting it was scattered rather than regionally concentrated. Agusta offers a distinctive, vintage alternative to Augusta, with nicknames like Gussie adding a friendly touch.
Agusta is likely a variant or misspelling of Augusta, the feminine form of Augustus, a Roman cognomen derived from Latin 'augere' (to increase). The name Augusta was commonly used in imperial families and later in honor of Saint Augusta of Treviso. Agusta appears as a rare, possibly phonetic spelling in 19th and early 20th century records.
