I named my son August after his great grandfather, and I am always so happy when people tell me it's a lovely name. I spent my entire pregnancy debating on a name for him, and it fits him perfectly. We call him The Guster for his nickname :)

Meaning: Form of AUGUSTUS used in several languages. This is the name of the eighth month of the year, which was originally named for the Roman Emperor Augustus, otherwise known as Octavian.

In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) August who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 528th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.

A lot of girls are named August :/

The name August was unfortunately given to 242 girls born in the US in 2015.

99 percent of the world history uses this name for a boy. Giving this name to a girl would be like naming a boy Julia. None the wiser, no damage ha lol.

August is also the Occitan form of Augustus.

August was extremely popular in Sweden in the late 1800s. Approximately 1/4 of all boys born were given the name August (first or middle name). August is again popular in Sweden and has been on the top 100 for several years.

Also used in Croatia.

I actually had a friend (who was a girl) with this name.
