Nikšić, Montenegro/Serbia and Montenegro Anagastum, Onogošt Originally named after the Gothic leader, Angasta, in the 5th century. When the Slavs arrived at the end of the 6th century they built a new settlement on the site with the modified name of Onogošt. In the middle of the 14th century, the name was changed as a tribute to Nikša, the founder of the Nikšić clan, which moved here from the Gulf of Kotor.
