Angelita

Angelita is a Spanish and Portuguese diminutive of Angela, itself derived from the Latin angelus and ultimately from the Greek angelos, meaning messenger or messenger of God. The name carries the same celestial connotations as its parent form, with the diminutive suffix lending it an affectionate, tender quality common in Iberian and Latin American naming traditions. It has been widely used throughout Spain, Portugal, and Hispanic communities in the Americas. Related forms include Angela, Angelina, Angelica, and Anjela.
