History & Origin

Angeliki is a long-established Greek girls' name meaning 'angelic', from angelos, 'messenger' — the word that Greek-speaking Christians used for the heavenly messengers and that gave English 'angel'. In Greece the name is commonly passed down from grandmother to granddaughter, and the stress falls firmly on the final syllable. Romanized here (said 'ahn-geh-lee-KEE').

It appears only rarely in the U.S., mainly in Greek American families. Rare here, traditional, and lyrical.

Did you know? The Greek word angelos simply meant 'messenger' before it meant 'angel' — Angeliki carries both senses (said 'ahn-geh-lee-KEE').
