The name Ángeles is Spanish in origin, derived from the Latin angelus and ultimately from the Greek angelos, meaning messenger or envoy, used in Christian tradition to denote divine messengers of God. It developed as a Marian title, taken from the phrase Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, Our Lady of the Angels, a popular devotion in the Spanish-speaking Catholic world. The name has long been common in Spain and Latin America as a feminine given name honoring the Virgin Mary under this epithet. Related forms include Ángel, Angela, Angelica, and Angelina.
