The word "Augusts" is derived from the Latin word "Augustus" which means "revered" or "venerable". It was originally used as a title for the Roman emperors, starting with Octavian, who took the name Augustus after becoming the first emperor of Rome in 27 BC. The title was associated with the month of August, which was named in honor of Augustus. Over time, the term "Augustus" became a family name as subsequent emperors adopted it, and the plural form "Augusti" or "Augusts" was used to refer to multiple emperors.
