Avgust is a male given name. ==Russian name== In Russian, Avgust ((ロシア語:А́вгуст) or ) is a male given name.〔Superanskaya (), p. 21〕 Its feminine versions are Avgusta〔Petrovsky, p. 32〕 and Avgustina.〔Nikonov, p. 63〕 The name is derived from the Latin word ''augustus'', which means ''majestic'',〔 but originally meant ''devoted to an augur'' (a priest who practiced augury, interpreting the will of the gods by studying the flight of birds).〔 The name was included into various, often handwritten, church calendars throughout the 17th–19th centuries, but was omitted from the official Synodal Menologium at the end of the 19th century.〔Superanskaya (), pp. 23 and 31〕 In 1924–1930, the name was included into various Soviet calendars,〔Superanskaya (), pp. 22 and 31〕 which included the new and often artificially created names promoting the new Soviet realities and encouraging the break with the tradition of using the names in the Synodal Menologia.〔Toronto Slavic Quarterly. Елена Душечкина. "(Мессианские тенденции в советской антропонимической практике 1920-х - 1930-х годов )" 〕 Its diminutives include Ava (),〔 Gutya (),〔 Gusta (),〔 Gustya (),〔 and Gustey ().〔Superanskaya (), p. 31〕 The patronymics derived from "Avgust" are "" (''Avgustovich''; masculine) and "" (''Avgustovna''; feminine).〔 "Avgust" is also a colloquial form of the given name Avgustin.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avgust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
