Angelia is a Latinate feminine form derived from the Greek word angelos, meaning messenger or herald, with the specific Christian sense of a divine messenger or angel. The name belongs to the same family as Angela, Angelica, and Angelina, all of which spread widely through medieval Europe as devotion to the concept of heavenly angels grew. Angelia functions largely as an elaborated variant of Angela, and it shares cognates across many European languages, including the Spanish Ángela and the Italian Angela.
