Gusztav Origin and Meaning

Derived from the Old Norse elements 'Gautr' (referring to the Geats, an ancient Scandinavian people) and 'stafr' meaning 'staff,' the name carries connotations of strength and support. In Hungarian culture, Gusztav has historical significance and represents traditional naming patterns. The name exudes an air of distinction and classical elegance, with the Hungarian spelling giving it a unique cultural identity.

Its pronunciation features a rich, resonant quality typical of Hungarian names.
