Angelike
Angelike Origin and Meaning
Angelike is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Angelica or Angelika, derived from the Latin 'angelicus' meaning 'angelic' or 'pertaining to angels.' This particular form incorporates Greek influence with the 'k' replacing the more common 'c,' giving it a slightly more exotic appearance. While Angelica has historical usage throughout Europe since medieval times, the Angelike variant remains relatively uncommon. The name evokes qualities of purity, goodness, and celestial beauty, consistent with its etymological connection to angels. In different cultural contexts, variations of this name have appeared in literature, including Ariosto's epic poem 'Orlando Furioso.' Angelike offers parents a distinctive spelling option that maintains the recognizable charm and elegant sound of the more traditional forms while providing a subtle uniqueness.
