History & Origin

Angeleena is a modern American respelling of Angelina, itself an Italian pet form of Angela from Late Latin angelus and Greek angelos, 'messenger' or 'angel.' Families who chose it wanted Angelina's warmth with a spelling of their own.

It was never common — only a few dozen girls a year even at its early-2000s crest — and it faded within a decade or two, a small footnote to the era's taste for stretched, decorative vowels.

Did you know? The extra letters don't change a thing about the meaning: Angeleena still traces straight back to Angela and the Latin word for 'angel.'
