Gus
Actor
Gus is a masculine name, often a diminutive for Angus, August, Augustine, or Augustus, and other names (e.g. Aengus, Argus, Fergus, Ghassan, Gustav, Gustave, Gustavo, Gussie).
It can also be used as the adaptation into english of the popular Greek name Kostas or Kontantinos (Costantine), especially amongst Greek immigrants in English-speaking countries, probably due to similarily in the sound.
As a stand-alone masculine name, it derives from the Old Irish word gusmhar or gusair for "strength" or "force" or the root gustu- for "choice"/"chose", with most naming books combining both derivations as "strong choice".
