Gustav

The name Gustav is of German origins and it is traditionally used by parents who are looking for a name for their son. It can also be spelled as Gustaf. Gustav is composed of the Old Norse elements 'gautr', meaning ‘the greats’, 'guitar', meaning ‘goth’ or 'goðōs', meaning ‘gods’, and 'stafr', meaning ‘staff.' The meaning of Gustav can be interpreted as ‘staff of gods’ or ‘staff of goths’. According to its Medieval Slavic origins, it has been taken from the name Gostislav, which has in turn been taken from the Medieval Slavic words 'gosti', meaning ‘guest’, and 'slava', meaning ‘glory’. This makes the meaning of the name to be ‘glorious guest’. The name has found a place in Swedish royalty and has been borne by eight kings of Sweden. Notable public figures known to have this name are Gustav Elijah Ahr also known as Lil Peep, the late American rapper, singer and songwriter and Gustav Engvall, a Swedish international soccer player.
