Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Ansgar je staré germánske dvojčlenné osobné meno. Obsahuje germánsky menný člen ans- „božstvo“ a člen gar, zodpovedajúci starohornonemeckému gēr „oštep, kopija“. Tradične sa vykladá ako „boží oštep“; ide o zjednodušené významové spojenie oboch členov. Výklad „bojovník pod božou ochranou“ nemá priamu oporu v jeho slovotvornej stavbe.
