Angus question

[Damion]

Can anyone please tell me where the name for Angus comes from? It was originally Forfarshire but got a name change. I can't find anything about why the name Angus was chosen.

It was Angus before it became Forfarshire, reverting to its ancient name in 1928.

Thanks for the replies, it's interesting to see that the modern region corresponds to the borders of an ancient kingdom despite all the cultural changes over the millenia.
