History & Origin
Angelene refreshes Angeline, itself an elaboration of Angela, with the fashionable -ene ending. All of them descend from the Greek angelos, 'messenger,' which early Christians took to mean 'angel,' giving the whole family its luminous meaning.
Angelene appeared in small numbers across much of the twentieth century, with a soft second wind in the nineteen-seventies rather than a single sharp peak. It reads as a tender, faith-tinged alternative to the more familiar Angeline and Angelina.
