Any ideas of who the awkward name Gus was coined? As far as I know, several ill-advised Greek immigrants in the USA have changed their wonderful name Constantine to the more suitable-to-the-American-palate Gus.

Yep, I really am an eekonomist. Did my graduate studies in the US of A back in the 80s. Unable to find a bonafide job as an eekonomist back home, I too had to sell out.
