Anghared is Welsh in Origin.
Anghared is a modern variant spelling of the Welsh feminine name Angharad, from Old Welsh Ancarat, built on the intensive prefix an- and the root car “love,” yielding the meaning “much loved” or “greatly beloved.” The name is deeply rooted in medieval Wales, borne by several princesses and noblewomen, and immortalized in the Mabinogion through Angharad Golden-Hand. In poetry and chronicles it signaled esteem and affection.
While Angharad remains the standard Welsh form, Anghared appears occasionally in Anglophone records and contemporary use as an alternative rendering. Other historical forms include Angharat and Ancarat; short forms include Harad and non-Welsh pet names like Angie or Annie. Usage rose in Wales during the 20th-century cultural revival and continues steadily there, though it is rare elsewhere. The name conveys warmth and cherished status with unmistakable Celtic character.
