- Comment: The source is not reliable – it would be quite possible to create an article about this name, but it has to be based on reliable scholarly sources. (That the source isn't reliable is clear from the fact that it got the etymology wrong. The name is probably formed on the Old Norse or Proto-Norse morphemes agh- "edge" or agi fear, and harjaR "warrior".) bonadea contributions talk 17:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
