Agoli is in Origin.
Agoli is best documented in the Fon-speaking kingdom of Dahomey, in present-day Benin, as the first element of the regnal name Agoli-agbo. Its root language is Fon, and the secure historical form is Agoli-agbo, recorded when Prince Agoli-agbo, a son of King Glélé, accepted a French-recognized throne in 1894. English and French accounts gloss the complete compound as the dynasty has not fallen; the independent lexical value of Agoli is less clearly separated, so the name is usually explained through the full royal form.
Agoli-agbo was the twelfth and last king of Dahomey, ruling under French control from 1894 until direct colonial administration in 1900. The name therefore belongs to the Fon royal and political history of Abomey rather than to a large international naming tradition. Spelling varies mainly by hyphenation and capitalization, including Agoli-Agbo and Agoli Agbo. As Agoli alone, it functions chiefly as a shortened or extracted form.
