Meaning and history

This name comes from the medieval Latin masculine name Angelus, which was derived from the name of the heavenly creature (itself derived from the Greek word ἄγγελος ( angelos ) meaning "messenger" ). Saint Angelus was a 13th-century priest from Jerusalem. The name has never been very common in the English-speaking world, where it is sometimes used as a feminine name in modern times.
