Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Irish Aengus, Oengus, from Old Irish Oíngus, from oín (one), from Proto-Celtic *oinos, from Proto-Indo-European *óynos (single, one). The etymology of the second element is disputed; most likely it is Old Irish gus (strength, vigour), from Proto-Celtic *gustu-, or it may be from Proto-Celtic *gus- (choose).

Proper noun

[edit]

Anghus m

  1. a male given name from Old Irish, equivalent to English Angus
