Gustav Name meanings & History
The name Gustav is of Swedish origin. It is derived from the Old Norse name Guðstaf, which means "God's staff". The name Gustav means "staff of the Goths" or "God's staff". Possibly means "staff of the Geats", derived from the Old Norse elements gautr meaning "Geat" and stafr meaning "staff". However, the root name Gautstafr is not well attested in the Old Norse period. Alternatively, it might be derived from the Slavic name Gostislav. This name has been borne by six kings of Sweden, including the 16th-century Gustav I Vasa.
