August comes from Latin and means “venerable,” “majestic,” or “worthy of respect,” and it is also the name of the eighth month. Taken from the Roman imperial title Augustus, the name had faded but now stands out as a hip choice, with nicknames like Gus and Auggie. Playwright August Wilson is a notable bearer.
