Etymology
The Romanian month name comes from Latin Augustus, the title the Roman Senate gave to the emperor Octavian in 27 BC. The month itself was renamed in his honor, replacing its older name Sextilis. The Latin title augustus meant consecrated or venerable, tied to the verb augere, to increase or grow.
