Aonghas is a masculine given name in Scottish Gaelic. It is composed of Celtic elements meaning "one", and "choice". A variant spelling of the Scottish Gaelic name is ''Aonghus''. The Irish form of the Scottish Gaelic names is ''Aengus''. A pet form of the Scottish Gaelic names is ''Angaidh'', which is represented in English as ''Angie'', pronounced "''an-ghee''". The earliest form of the given name ''Angus'', and its cognates, occurs in Adomnán's ''Vita Columbae'' (English: "''Life of Columba''") as ''Oinogusius'', ''Oinogussius''. This name likely refers to a Pictish king whose name is recorded variously as ''Onnust'', ''Hungus''.〔 According to historian Alex Woolf, the early Gaelic form of the name, ''Oengus'', was borrowed from the British Pictish ''Onuist'', which appears in British as ''Ungust''. Woolf noted that these names are all derived from the Celtic '' *Oinogustos''. Linguist John Kneen derived this name from two Celtic elements the following way: '' *Oino-gustos'', meaning "one-choice".〔 which is a transcription of 〕 Woolf also stated that between about AD 350 and AD 660, the Insular Celtic dialects underwent changes which included the loss of the final syllables and unstressed vowels, which affected '' *Oinogustos'' thus: '' *Oin ==People with the given name== *Aonghas mac Somhairle, (''fl.'' 13th century), a Scottish nobleman, son of Somerled. *Aonghas MacNeacail, (born 1942), a Scottish Gaelic writer. *Aonghas Mór, (''fl.'' 13th century), a Scottish nobleman, son of Domhnall mac Raghnaill. *Aonghas Óg of Islay, (''fl.'' 14th century), a Scottish nobleman, son of Aonghas Mór. *Aonghas Óg, (died 1490), a Scottish nobleman, son of John of Islay, Earl of Ross. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aonghas (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
