Ankou Name meanings & History

The collector of souls, the god of death. This is the name of a legendary skeleton-ghost in parts of France, namely Brittany and Normandy as well as Cornwall. He travels by night, riding a creaking cart (or small coach) drawn by four black horses in which he comes to collect the souls of the recently departed. Two other skeletons walk alongside Ankou's cart, tossing the souls into the wagon. His skull spins like a top on his bony shoulders so he can see in all directions. Ankou is a unique name that is not commonly used. It may be more popular in Breton or French-speaking areas.
