AGELAO

Agelao, extremely rare, it would seem southern, should derive from a Greek nickname based on the term agelàios (wild) which also gave origin to the name Agelàios, less likely a derivation for rotacism from a nickname based on the ancient Greek word ageraos (which does not age, always young).
