Anghus is Gaelic in Origin.
Anghus is a rare Gaelic spelling within the Aonghus/Aengus/Angus name group, rooted in Old Irish Óengus (also written Oengus). The elements are óen “one, unique” + gus “vigour, strength; choice,” giving meanings such as “one strength,” “unique strength,” or “the unique choice.” While far less common than Angus or Aengus, Anghus is attested as an alternative orthography in Gaelic and anglicized records and appeals to those seeking a traditional form with a distinctive look.
The name has deep cultural resonance: Aengus Óg is the youthful god of love and poetry in Irish mythology; early medieval bearers include Saint Aengus the Culdee and Pictish kings Óengus I and II. Through centuries of Gaelic usage and later anglicization, Angus became widespread in Scotland and beyond. Variants include Aonghus (Irish), Aonghas (Scottish Gaelic), Aengus (Irish/English), Óengus (Old Irish), and Angus; common diminutive: Gus.
Anghus is extremely rare. There are only 1 recorded use on record, spread over 1 country.
