Angerbotha is a rare feminine name from Old Norse Angrboða, a compound of angr “grief, sorrow” and boða “to announce, bring news,” meaning “bringer of grief” or “she who foretells sorrow.” Medieval scribes often rendered ð as d or th, yielding forms such as Angrboda, Angrboða, Angerboda, Angrbotha, and Angurboda; the Germanic element boda/botho likely encouraged the -botha spelling.

Best known in Norse myth, Angrboða is the giantess who bears Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel with Loki, a figure linked to ominous prophecies in the Eddas. As a given name it has virtually no documented historical use and remains extremely rare, appearing mainly in modern fantasy and Scandinavian-inspired media. Parents seeking a fierce, mythic choice may be drawn to its dramatic sound, though the literal meaning and legendary ties lend a distinctly somber tone.
