Meaning & Origin
Gustabo is a boy's baby name of Swedish origin, a variant of Gustavo, itself derived from the Swedish Gustaf, from the Old Norse elements gautr (the Geats, a Germanic people) and stafr (staff, support), meaning 'staff of the Geats' or 'divine protection.'
Several Scandinavian kings bore the name Gustav. Gustabo is a Spanish-inflected variant that carries the regal history of Swedish royalty in a more Latinate, accessible form — used primarily in Hispanic communities in the United States.
