Angharett is Welsh in Origin.

Angharett is an archaic Anglicized Welsh form of Angharad, built from an ‘very, intensely’ + the love-root car- (caru “to love,” cariad “love”), yielding the meaning “much loved” or “beloved.” The -tt ending reflects English scribes’ attempts to represent the Welsh letter dd (a voiced th sound). While Angharad is the standard modern spelling, historical records - especially in the Welsh–English border counties - show variants such as Angharett, Angharat, Angharid, and Anghared.

Used since the early medieval period among Welsh noble families, the name appears in native tradition as Angharad Law Eurwen (“Golden-Hand”) in the Mabinogion and is well attested in medieval charters. After waning for a time, it revived during the 19th–20th‑century Celtic cultural resurgence and remains most common in Wales, rare elsewhere. Standard and related variants include Angharad (modern), Angharat/Angharid (medieval), and Angharedd/Anghared (orthographic). Modern Welsh names sharing the same love-root include Carys and Cariad.
