History & Origin
Mariangela is an Italian compound name, Maria plus Angela, written as one word in a tradition that also gives Mariateresa, Mariagrazia and Mariacarmen. Angela comes from the Greek angelos, 'messenger,' the word behind angel; Maria is the Latin form of the Hebrew Miriam, whose meaning has never been settled. The name is used steadily in Italy and in Italian communities abroad, and remains rare in the United States (said 'mar-ee-AN-jel-uh').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, ornate, and Italian.
