Meaning and background
The story behind Auggie
Auggie is an informal double-g spelling of Augie, a short form of August. The family of names ultimately connects with the Roman name Augustus, although the shortened version is not an independent Latin word. Written with two gs, Auggie looks deliberately conversational and has a straightforward two-syllable sound. It is best explained as a familiar form rather than saddled with a new etymology.
- Origin
- Informal alternate spelling of Augie, an English diminutive of August. Source
