Angharadha is a Gaelicized and case‑marked form of the Welsh feminine name Angharad, built from Old Welsh an- “very, intensely” + car “love, affection,” with the abstract suffix -ad; the sense is “much loved.” The name appears throughout medieval Wales among nobility and in legend - most famously Angharad Golden‑Hand in the Mabinogion - and was borne by queens and princesses such as Angharad ferch Maredudd (11th century).

In Irish and Scottish Gaelic sources, scribes adapted the Welsh d as dh and, in the genitive, added a final -a, yielding spellings Angharadh and Angharadha; Latin documents show Angharada, and medieval records often have Angharat. The modern standard form is Angharad; rarer modern variants include Angharadh, Angharada, and Angharat. All share the same meaning and cultural origin.
