Agum is Hebrew, Indonesian in Origin.
Agum is most securely interpreted as a transliteration of Hebrew עָגוּם, ʿāgūm, a masculine singular adjective. Its root language is Hebrew, with the earliest recoverable form for this etymology being the consonantal spelling עגום plus later Tiberian vocalization. The word belongs to the Semitic root ע־ג־ם ʿ-g-m, connected with darkening or dejection; literally it denotes something mournful, bleak, or gloomy.
As a given name, Agum is better attested in Indonesia than in Jewish religious naming, especially in Sundanese-speaking West Java, including Tasikmalaya; there its meaning may reflect local naming practice rather than the Hebrew adjective. A separate ancient name Agum was borne by Kassite kings of Babylonia, but its language and sense are not clear. Modern usage appears uncommon and masculine, with Agung a nearby Indonesian name rather than a true variant.
