Angeleta Origin and Meaning

The name Angeleta is a girl's name.

Angeleta is a feminine name that serves as a diminutive form of Angela, ultimately derived from the Greek word 'angelos' meaning 'messenger' or 'angel.' This charming variant adds the diminutive suffix '-eta,' giving it the sweet meaning of 'little angel' or 'little messenger.' While not commonly used in mainstream English-speaking communities, Angeleta has historical usage in Mediterranean regions, particularly with Italian and Spanish influences. The name carries a delicate, feminine quality while maintaining its connection to the more familiar Angela. Angeleta offers a distinctive alternative to popular angel-derived names like Angelina or Angelica, though its usage remains relatively rare in contemporary naming records.
