Scottish and (less frequently) Irish: from the Gaelic personal name
Aonghus, said to be composed of Celtic aon ‘one’ +
gus ‘choice’. This was borne by an Irish god and a famous
8th-century Pictish king. It is also the name of a county on Tayside
(named after him); in some cases the surname may be a regional name
