Origin
Meaning and history of Angadveer
The name Angadveer has its origins in the Sanskrit language, which is an ancient Indo-Aryan language that dates back to the 2nd millennium BCE. It is a combination of two words: "Angad," which means "body part" or "limb," and "Veer," which means "brave" or "courageous." Together, the name can be interpreted as "brave warrior" or "courageous soldier."
The earliest known references to this name can be traced back to ancient Hindu texts and scriptures, such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. These epic tales, which are considered sacred texts in Hinduism, often feature characters with names that reflect their personalities or roles in the stories.
One of the most notable historical figures with the name Angadveer was a warrior prince from the 16th century. He was born in 1548 in the region that is now known as Rajasthan, India, and was renowned for his bravery and military exploits. Another prominent individual with this name was Angadveer Singh, a 17th-century ruler of the princely state of Marwar (now part of Rajasthan), who was known for his just and effective governance.
In the realm of literature, Angadveer was the name of a character in the 19th-century novel "Anandmath" by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, which is considered a seminal work of Bengali literature and played a significant role in the Indian independence movement.
Moving forward in history, Angadveer Chand was a notable Indian freedom fighter and revolutionary who participated in the Indian independence struggle against British colonial rule in the early 20th century. He was born in 1887 and played an active role in the Non-Cooperation Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.
Another individual with this name was Angadveer Singh Grewal, a distinguished Indian military officer who served in the Indian Army during World War II. He was born in 1916 and received numerous honors and awards for his bravery and leadership during the war.
While the name Angadveer is not as common as some other Indian names, it continues to be used by families who value its symbolic meaning and historical significance, particularly in regions with strong cultural ties to the Sanskrit language and Hindu traditions.

FAQ
Angadveer: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Angadveer?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Angadveer going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Angadveer a common name?
We classify Angadveer as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Angadveer most popular?
The single biggest year for Angadveer was 2018, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Angadveer is about 8 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Angadveer in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Angadveer still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Angadveer in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Angadveer can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
