We have decided we both like [name_m]August[/name_m] for our baby boy. But we struggling to find a middle name. We found out our pregnancy is high risk and we want something very meaningful, preferably biblical. [name_m]August[/name_m] means “to increase” so we are looking for a middle name with a meaning that pairs with that. To increase… What?
August does not mean to increase, but it means the greatest from Latin augustus
It was referred to the Emperor of Rome
Other meanings:
1 sacred, consecrated, holy
2 august, majestic, sublime, venerable, solemn.
All the best with your pregnancy.
August is a beautiful name - and laden with more meanings than its original “to increase”, it also means majestic, impressive and grand, dignified, and even consecrated and venerable.
But here are some names that both flow with it and add to its meaning:

August Alexander (defender of men)
August Henry (ruler)
August Asher (happy and blessed)
August Jeremiah (exalted of God)
