About the name Angad

In the Ramayana, Angad is the vanara who plants his foot in Ravana's court and dares the whole assembly to move it, an image of quiet immovable nerve. The name is common across north India and Punjab and travels well abroad, since two blunt syllables rarely get mangled.

Angad is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced UN-gud. On the NameRarity scale it scores 87 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the timeless.
