From the medieval Latin masculine name Angelus, which was derived from the name of the heavenly creature (itself derived from the
Ancient Greek word ἄγγελος (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. In the United States, while it is more common among girls (although not as common as
Angela), while it is more common among girls (although not as common as
Angelica), it has seen some increase among boys, in particular as an English pronunciation of Spanish Ángel.
