History

Aiglsbach was first recorded as a settlement in 864, with alternative names recorded as Agelspach (ca. 1145), Ailgilspach (ca. 1190) and Egilspach (ca. 1160). The name likely derives from a given name such as Agil, Egil, Aigil or Eigil, while bach refers to a stream. The town belonged to the taxation district of Munich and to the administrative district of Mainburg in the Electorate of Bavaria. Administrative reform in the Kingdom of Bavaria led in 1818 to the creation of the municipality as it is today, the official spelling being changed in 1911 from Aigelsbach to Aiglsbach.

The name of Eichelsbach, a settlement within the municipality of Elsenfeld in the Bavarian Spessart in Lower Franconia is also sometimes spelled Egilespach. Aigil or Egil was a common name in the Middle Ages, and Eichelsbach in the Spessart is thought to have been named after an abbot named Aigil, of a monastery near Fulda.
