The first name Gustaf, a variant of Gustav, has its origins in Scandinavia, particularly in Sweden and Denmark, where it first appeared in the medieval period. The name is derived from the Old Norse elements "gautr," meaning "Goth" or "Geat," and "stafr," meaning "staff" or "support," which together can be interpreted as "staff of the Goths" or "the one who supports the Goths." Historically, those who bore the name were often associated with leadership and nobility, as it has been borne by several kings of Sweden, including Gustav I, who played a significant role in the establishment of Sweden as a sovereign state. Variations of the name include Gustav in German and Swedish, Gustave in French, and Gustavo in Spanish and Italian, each with slight differences in pronunciation and spelling but retaining the same core meaning. The name has remained popular in various cultures, often symbolizing strength and leadership, reflecting the historical significance of its bearers.
