Origin and Etymology of the Surname AUGUST.

From

AUGUST.
A baptismal name meaning "the son of Auguste." Probably an
importation from the Low Countries or France, as I find few traces of the name
in England as a font-name, except in the form Austin,
q.v. The Boston (U.S.) Directory has August, Auguste, Augusta, Augustine,
and Augustus among its list of surnames; cf. German August, Fr. Auguste.
