Augie Origin and Meaning

The name Augie is a girl's name meaning "great, magnificent".

Augie is one of a bundle of adorable boyish nicknames newly fashionable for girls, rarer than Billie. A twist on Angie and riding on the coattails of newly fashionable August -- Augie is a spunky, friendly tomboyish choice whether on its own or as a nickname.

The Adventures of Augie March, a 1953 novel by Nobel winner Saul Bellow, as well as the book Wonder and its movie adaptation, both feature male Augies.
