History & Origin

Anjelique is one of several creative spellings of Angelique that appeared in the late twentieth century, keeping the French name's meaning, 'angelic,' from the Latin angelicus. The respelling aimed to guide pronunciation.

It stayed a minority spelling, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point around 1996, well behind the standard Angelique. A girl named Anjelique then is in her late twenties today.

Did you know? Anjelique swaps the g of Angelique for a j to lock in the soft 'zh' sound; the parent name is the French of the Latin word for 'angelic.'
