The meaning of Augusta
Augusta is the feminine form of Augustus, says Behind the Name. Augustus means “exalted, venerable,” from Latin augeo, “to increase,” and was the title the Roman senate gave Octavian, the first Roman emperor, in 26 BC. Wikipedia adds that Augustae was a title used for empresses of the Roman and Byzantine Empires. Behind the Name says the name reached Britain when King George III gave it to his second daughter in 1768.
Nicknames for Augusta
Behind the Name lists Gussie as the English diminutive of Augusta, with Gusta used in Dutch. The masculine side of the family includes Augustus, August, Gus and Augie. Gussie is the classic choice, and many Augustas prefer to keep the full name.
Famous Augustas

Her sculpture Lift Every Voice and Sing, also called The Harp, was made for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

Who it’s for and ways to use it
This is a notebook for every kind of Augusta: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Why a name on the cover matters
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Augusta’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
