Angus was a personal name before it was the name of beef

It is the beef which was named after a man, not the other way around.
Angus was the "Irish god of love and youth" and also the name of kings.

Do you really order "Angus" at McDonalds in USA?

I like the Celtic names Angus and Fergus, but I guess I don't understand your kind of humour.
