Etymology

From Swedish Gustav.

A royal name in Sweden, traditionally explained (even by Gustav I Vasa himself) as Swedish göt + staf (“staff”, literally “support (of the Geats, southern Swedes)”)". But there is no such name in Old Norse, and Gustav is more probably a Swedish rendering of Old Polish / north-west Slavic Gostislav, from Proto-Slavic *Gostislavъ, from *gostь (“guest”) + *slava (“glory”).
