Angharad
About Angharad
This name dates back to Arthurian legend, in which Angharad was the lover of Percival, one of the Knights of the Round Table, and was used more recently for the name of the favorite wife of the warlord in Mad Max: Fury Road. It was quite popular in the Middle Ages and is still heard in Wales, but we doubt that even the glamorous Rosie Huntington-Whiteley could propel it to wider popularity.
Pronounced ANG-har-ad.
As of October 2026, Angharad ranked #4721 in US births in 1943 SSA.
Editor's take: The name Angharad is a girl's name meaning "much loved".
