About Angell

Angell is a name with religious and Old English origins, derived from the word 'angel,' ultimately from the Greek 'angelos' meaning 'messenger.' As a masculine given name, it represents a less common spelling variant of Angel. This variation with the double 'l' was historically used as a surname in England, deriving from either the personal name or from someone with angelic characteristics or who portrayed angels in medieval mystery plays. When used as a first name for boys, Angell carries spiritual connotations while the distinctive spelling gives it a unique quality. The name has never been extremely popular but appeals to parents seeking a name with celestial associations and positive meanings while standing apart from the more standard spelling of Angel.
