Aonghuis is Irish, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.
Aonghuis is a Gaelic masculine given name, a learned or case‑influenced variant of Aonghus/Aonghas (Irish Aengus; Old Irish Óengus). It derives from óen “one” + gus “strength, vigor,” often interpreted as “unique strength” or “one choice.” The spelling Aonghuis reflects traditional Gaelic orthography and appears alongside Aonghus in historical records, especially in Scotland and Ireland.
The name belongs to deep Celtic tradition: borne by the mythic Aengus Óg of the Tuatha Dé Danann; by early rulers such as Óengus mac Nad Fróich of Munster and kings Óengus I and II of the Picts; and by St. Óengus the Culdee. Common variants include Aonghus, Aonghas, Aengus, and Óengus; Anglicized Angus and, in learned Scots, Aeneas. Modern nicknames include Gus. Usage today remains strongest in Gaelic-speaking communities.
