Etymology

First part Aberdeen, from both English Aberdeen (“city in Scotland”), from either Scottish Gaelic aber (“river mouth”) or Pictish aber (“confluence”), both from Proto-Celtic *abū (“river”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ep- (“(body of) water”) + and from English Don (“river in Scotland”), probably from the common Celtic river name Proto-Celtic *Dānu, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰenh₂- (“to set in motion; flow”).

Last part Angus, from English Angus, from Scottish Gaelic Aonghas, from Middle Irish Aengus, Oéngus (male given name), from Old Irish Oíngus (the Gaelic god of love, youth, and poetic inspiration), first part of the name from oín, alternative form of óen (“one”), from Proto-Celtic *oinos (“one”), from Proto-Indo-European *óynos (“one, single”), perhaps from *éy (“he, she, it”) and the suffix *-nós (creates adjectives) + last part from gus (“strength, vigour”), from Proto-Celtic *gustus, or from Proto-Celtic *gus- (“choose”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵews- (“to taste, try”).
