Meaning & History
From Greek ἄγω (ago) meaning "to lead" and λαός (laos) meaning "people". Alternatively, it could come from ἀγέλη (agele) meaning "herd" or the related adjective ἀγελαῖος (agelaios) meaning "belonging to the herd". This is the name of several figures from Greek mythology, including one of the suitors of Penelope.
