Wiktionary example

These source excerpts show how Augusta appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. August, Charis named her, because that's when she was born. Warm breezes, baby powder, languorous heat, the smell of mown hay. Such a soft name. Too soft for her daughter, who has added an a. Augusta, she is now — a very different resonance. Marble statues, Roman noses, tight-lipped commanding mouths.

Etymology
