Angel Baby Names
154 Angel names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.
Angel baby names are names that mean “angel” or “messenger of God” outright, or that borrow the identity of a specific angel from religious tradition. Parents reach for them to mark a baby as a blessing, a little protector, or simply because the sound feels soft and radiant — think Angel, Angelina and Seraphina.
What makes a name feel angelic?
Most fall into two camps: names that translate directly to “angel,” like Angel, Angelo and Malak, and names tied to a specific heavenly being, like Seraphina, drawn from the seraphim.
Angel girl names
Soft and luminous options include Angelina, Angelica, Serafina, Gabrielle, Malaika and Arella, plus the sweet blended choice Mariangel.
Angel boy names
For boys, Angel, Angelo, Malachi and Dangelo carry that same messenger spirit, while Azrael and Miguelangel lean a bit more dramatic and distinctive.
Names from the archangels
Gabrielle honors the archangel Gabriel, while Azariel and Hadriel are themselves angel names rooted in Judeo-Christian tradition — strong picks for parents who want something rarer than Angel itself.
Every name below links to its own page with a sourced meaning, U.S. popularity, famous bearers, and a clear audio pronunciation — so you can hear it before you choose.
