Meaning & Origin of Aga
Meaning: As a Turkish title, 'lord' or 'chief'; elsewhere a habitational surname or river name of unrelated origin.
Origin: multiple (Turkish / Norwegian / Amharic).
A common claim: Widely glossed as 'elder, master' (Turkish/Polish). Actually: The 'master/elder' sense holds for the Turkish title 'ağa', but there's no Polish word supporting that meaning -- Polish 'Aga' is just a nickname with no meaning of its own.
