“Possibly terror and spear-point”

Possibly a Frisian short form of names beginning with 'Agi-', combining a Germanic root for 'terror' with an Old High German root for 'point' or 'blade', together read as 'the fearsome one, spear-point'. Ayen is also used as a given name in Dinka communities in South Sudan.
