name

Etymology: From Latin Augusta, feminine of Augustus. The places are mostly named for British royalty.

  1. A female given name from Latin.

    August, Charis named her, because that's when she was born. Warm breezes, baby powder, languorous heat, the smell of mown hay. Such a soft name. Too soft for her daughter, who has added an a. Augusta, she is now — a very different resonance. Marble statues, Roman noses, tight-lipped commanding mouths.
