History & Origin
Sorangel is a rare Latina coinage that fuses Sor, tied to the Spanish word for a religious sister, with Angel, from the Greek for 'messenger.' Compound names built on Angel were fashionable in Spanish-speaking communities, and Sorangel gives that pattern a devotional, 'sister angel' cast. It appears in United States records only briefly in the mid-1980s, one of the scarcest names of its wave.
It was exceptionally rare, recorded for only a small handful of girls in a couple of years, so it barely registers at all. A girl named Sorangel then would be in her forties today. It reads as a devout family coinage rather than any kind of trend, and its meaning lives in the union of Sor and Angel.
