Guss is a gorgeous name for boys. A little like Gus, but with an extra “S” at the end, it’s just one of many ways to dote on your darling Augustus. While it's slightly shorter than its Latinate root, which means “exalted,” “venerable,” or “to increase," that won’t make it any less legendary for your little hero, who’ll take Guss' High German definition of “flood” as a sign that waves of wonder await!
