About Angad
Angad is a name of Sanskrit and Hindi origin, that can be used to refer to an ornament or a bracelet, but when given as a name, is more likely chosen to reflect the idea that a child is part of their parents. The name is significant to both Sikhs and Hindus with Guru Angad Dev Ji being the second of the ten Sikh Gurus responsible for leading Sikh tradition after the death of its founder, and also appearing as a figure in the Hindu Epic Ramayana to fight the Demon King Ravana.
Familiar in the UK, it is a popular choice in India.
Pronounced AHN-gahd.
