Did you know?
- If a person named Angus were to use the Cantonese version 安哥士, the second character 哥 literally means 'older brother', which can give the name a slightly more friendly or masculine 'vibe' in certain social contexts.
- While 安格斯 is used for people, the word for Angus cattle in Chinese is 安格斯牛, adding the character 牛 for 'cow'.
