Gustav, also spelled Gustaf (pronounced or in English; for both spellings), is a male given name of Old Swedish origin, used mainly in Scandinavian countries, German-speaking countries, and the Low Countries. The origin of the name is debated. The name was first recorded in 1225 in Västergötland, Sweden, in the Latin form . Other 13th-century variants include ''Gødstaui'', ''Gøstaf'' and ''Gøzstaf'' . Linguistic Otto von Friesen suggested that it may derive from a byname meaning "staff of the Geats, Göta people" or "support of the (Väst)göta people". Another theory speculates that the name is of Medieval Slavic peoples, Slavic origin, from ''Gostislav'', a compound word meaning "glorious guest", derived from the Slavic words ("guest") and ("glory"), and was adopted by migrating groups north and west into Germany and Scandinavia.

Given Name
A given name (also known as a forename or first name) is the part of a personal name quoted in that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn. A ''Christian name'' is the first name which is given at baptism, in Christian custom. In informal situations, given names are often used in a familiar and friendly manner. In more formal situations, a person's surname is more commonly used. In Western culture, the idioms "" and "being on first-name terms" refer to the familiarity inherent in addressing someone by their given name. By contrast, a surname (also known as a family name, last name, or Gentile name, ''gentile'' name) is normally inherited and shared with other members of one's immediate family. Regnal names ...

After spending his early years in captivity with his family, he was sent to Poland in 1575, where he was raised and became Catholic.
