Augusta is the feminine form of Augustus, which was originally used as a name and title for the first Roman Emperor, Gaius Octavius, and which eventually passed on as a title to other Roman emperors. It means “majestic, venerable, great” from Latin augere (to increase, augment) which derives from a PIE root word.
