Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: Spanish Jose, Miguel, Carlos, Juan, Manuel, Jorge, Luis, Arturo, Roberto, Jesus, Raul, Salvador.
Spanish (Ángel) and Slovenian: from local equivalents of the Latin personal name Angelus, from angelus, Greek angelos ‘messenger, angel’. In early Christian folk belief, angels were so named because they were considered to be messengers sent from God. Compare Spanish Del Angel .
English (of Norman origin): from Middle English angel ‘angel’, from Old French angele, from Latin angelus (see above), perhaps applied as a nickname to someone of angelic temperament or appearance or for someone who played the part of an angel in a pageant. In North America, this surname may also be an altered form of any of several cognate European surnames, for example Italian Angelo , Romanian Anghel , Czech Anděl, or Hungarian Angyal.
