Anghard is Welsh in Origin.

Anghard is a rare variant spelling of the Welsh feminine name Angharad, built from the intensifying prefix an- and the root car love (from caru, to love) with the abstract suffix -ad. The sense is much loved, well beloved, or dearly loved, a meaning long prized in Welsh naming tradition.

Recorded since the Middle Ages, Angharad was borne by Welsh noblewomen and appears in the Mabinogion (Angharad Golden-Hand). Anghard, the simplified spelling, crops up in some anglicized records but remains rare beside standard Angharad. Related forms include Angharid, Angharat, and the Breton-influenced Angarad. Modest pet forms include Hari and Ang. Today the name is most familiar in Wales and the Welsh diaspora, valued for its cultural resonance and its warm, unequivocal meaning.
