Angus is a Scottish name from the Old Irish Óengus, possibly meaning "one strength" from óen meaning "one" and guss meaning "ability, excellence, strength". Aonghus (sometimes surnamed Mac Og meaning "young son") was an Irish god of love and youth, one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. It is also associated with the County in Scotland named after the 8th century Pictish king, Óengus I.
I grew up on a farm and I will never not think of black angus cows, so named for the county in Scotland they are associated with.
Angus feels strong, tough, but still soft as though he was quite bookish and maybe he'd wear glasses. It's cozy and friendly.
