Which, how. ever, on the Continent, was obviously a derivative of Continental (especially Romance) Angela. It means ‘the angelic girl or woman’: cf. ‘my angel’ as a term of affectionate (? doting) address. Angela originated as the f. of Angelos (Gr. αγγελος, an angel; in Classical Greek a messenger, an announcer), first used as an epithetic name in the Byzantine Empire, where it soon became a surname; in C13, Angelo, because of saintly associations, it developed into a very popular Christian name, as, with little delay, did also Angela.
