About the name Angad
Angad is a Punjabi and Sanskrit boy's name meaning a limb or inseparable part — suggesting that the bearer is an integral, indispensable part of the divine or the community. The name holds special significance in Sikhism: Guru Angad Dev Ji (1504–1552) was the second of the ten Sikh Gurus, chosen personally by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He standardised the Gurmukhi script used for Punjabi, making literacy accessible to the Sikh community. He also introduced the tradition of langar (free communal meals). For Sikh families, naming a son Angad honours this great Guru's legacy. AN-gad is clear and easy in English.
