<p>Aonghus is a masculine name of Scottish and Irish Gaelic origin, equivalent to the Anglicized form Angus. The name combines the Celtic elements 'oino' meaning 'one' or 'unique' and 'gusa' meaning 'choice' or 'strength.' In Irish mythology, Aonghus (or Aengus) was the god of love, youth, and poetic inspiration. The traditional Gaelic spelling gives this ancient name an authentic character while preserving its strong cultural heritage. While the spelling Aonghus might present pronunciation challenges in non-Gaelic speaking regions (it's roughly pronounced 'AY-nus' or 'OY-nus'), it remains popular among families with Scottish or Irish connections seeking to honor their Celtic roots.</p>
