History & Origin

Angi is a short, '-i'-ending spelling of Angie, itself the affectionate form of Angela, from the Greek angelos, 'messenger' — the word behind 'angel'. It keeps the meaning while giving the nickname a name-like polish.

It belongs to the mid-century vogue for clipped '-i' girls' names like Sandi and Terri, staying rare, only a few dozen girls a year around its 1970 high. A woman named Angi today is likely of that generation.

Did you know? Angela was a mid-century favorite, and its pet form Angie spawned tidy spellings like Angi with the era's beloved '-i' ending.
