Angeline

Angeline is a feminine name derived from the Greek word 'angelos', meaning 'messenger' or 'angel'. It is a variation of the name Angela, which has been popular for centuries and has roots in both Christian and classical traditions.

The name Angeline gained popularity during the Middle Ages, when devotion to angels and saints was widespread in Europe. It was often given to girls in the hope that they would embody the virtues associated with angels, such as purity, innocence, and divine grace.

In modern times, Angeline has remained a popular choice for parents seeking a name with a soft, romantic sound and a connection to the angelic realm. The name is often seen as a symbol of beauty, gentleness, and spiritual protection.

While Angeline is primarily associated with the feminine gender, it has the potential to be used as a unisex name, although this is less common.
