Etymology 1Edit

Early Middle English August(us), re-Latinized from Old English Agustus, from Late Latin Agustus, from Latin augustus (month of August), from the agnomen Augustus (venerable) of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, possibly from either Old Latin *augos (increase), from Proto-Italic *augos, from Proto-Indo-European base *h₂ewg- (to increase); or Latin avis (bird), referring to divination by observing bird flights, singing, feeding or entrails + garrīre (to chatter).

Alternative formsEdit

PronunciationEdit

Proper nounEdit

August (plural Augusts)

  1. The eighth month of the Roman, Julian, and Gregorian calendars, following July and preceding September.
    • 1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter VIII, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:
      The day was cool and snappy for August, and the Rise all green with a lavish nature. Now we plunged into a deep shade with the boughs lacing each other overhead, and crossed dainty, rustic bridges over the cold trout-streams, the boards giving back the clatter of our horses' feet: [] .
  2. A female given name from English derived from the month (rare modern usage).
    • 1993, Margaret Atwood, Robber Bride, Virago Press, published 2013, →ISBN, page 48:
      August, Charis named her, because that's when she was born. Warm breezes, baby powder, languorous heat, the smell of mown hay. Such a soft name. Too soft for her daughter, who has added an a. Augusta, she is now — a very different resonance. Marble statues, Roman noses, tight-lipped commanding mouths.
SynonymsEdit
  • Sextilis (chiefly early Roman contexts), Sextile (early Roman contexts, now uncommon)
