[Facts] Angus and Malcolm
What is the meaning of the name Malcolm? Also need info for name Angus. (they are my sons and I have some info for Angus but other than the band AC/DC, I can't find much about Malcolm--I know its Scottish).

Angus is a cool name, I love it.
Malcom is an anglicization of the Scottish Gaelic name Mael Caluim, meaning "servant of St. Columba." Angus is an anglicization of the Scottish Gaelic name Aonghus, a form of an anceient name meaning, perhaps "one choice."
OOps, Norah, that response just sent from Janet should have been from (Erin) Nichole (my daughter who asked me to post the question). Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you for the response! That is great information. Do you have a source (namebook or whatever) or do you just know these things?
Thanks again--I think my sons will enjoy knowing these meanings as well as the Gaelic origins of their names.
