📖 About Angus
Angus is a name of Scottish Gaelic origin, derived from the Old Irish 'Óengus' (also spelled Aonghus), combining 'óen' (one) and 'gus' (strength or vigour), meaning 'one strength.' It has deep roots in Celtic mythology — Óengus mac Óg was the Irish god of love and youth. In Scotland, the name became linked to the ancient northeastern kingdom of Angus. It has been consistently popular in Australia, reflecting Scottish heritage, peaking around rank 35 in 2008 and remaining in the top 80 today.
