History & Origin

Angellica is an ornamented spelling of Angelica, which comes from the Latin angelicus, 'angelic'. The base name has a long history in literature and opera, and the herb angelica carried associations of protection. American parents in the nineteen-nineties sometimes doubled the l for a more decorative look.

The variant was never common, cresting around 1998 before fading, while the standard Angelica remained far more familiar. A Angellica today is likely a young adult, and the name has not developed a revival of its own.
