Angharaut is Welsh in Origin.

Angharaut is a rare medieval Welsh feminine name, an archaic orthographic variant of Angharad. It derives from the intensifying prefix an- "very, exceedingly" and the root car- "love, affection," seen in the verb caru and the noun cariad; together it conveys the sense "much loved," "deeply beloved," or "more greatly loved."

Attested in 12th-14th century Welsh charters, genealogies, and poetry, the spelling Angharaut reflects Middle Welsh conventions that often represented final voiced stops with -t in manuscripts; later standardization produced Angharad. The name appears across native literature (including the Mabinogion cycle) and among medieval Welsh noblewomen, helping sustain its prestige. Today, Angharaut survives mainly as an antiquarian or literary form; modern use overwhelmingly favors Angharad, while Angharat is another documented medieval variant. Related forms in other languages are not established, though English-speaking contexts sometimes adapt Angharad straightforwardly. Meaning across all spellings remains consistent: "much loved."
