- Angel Meaning
- From the medieval Latin masculine name Angelus which was derived from the name of the heavenly creature (itself derived from the Greek word αγγελος (angelos) meaning "messenger"). It has never been very common in the English-speaking world, where it is sometimes used as a feminine name in modern times. Angel originates in Greek language and means "God"s messenger". In Spanish-speaking countries, it is more common as a masculine given name, whereas in English-speaking countries, it can be used as both feminine and masculine, the feminine one being more frequent. However, it has never gained as much popularity as other names derived from Angel, such as Angela or Angelica.
