Gustaw
[ɡʊsˈtɑːv]Meaning
Polish form of Gustav, a male given name of Old Swedish origin.
Background Story
Gustaw is the Polish form of Gustav. The name is traditionally explained as Old Swedish göt, the Geats, plus staf, staff, though no such name is recorded in Old Norse. It is more probably a Swedish rendering of Old Polish and north-west Slavic Gostislav, from Proto-Slavic gostь, guest, and slava, glory.
