About Angerla
Not to be confused with Angela, this name sails from Greenland, where it is originally a short form of names like Angerlatoq and Angerlanguaq. All these names share one quality: their sweet meaning. Angerla means the one who has returned home and it's traditionally used as an honour name for a relative who has passed away.
Angerla for boys
Angerla may seem more feminine at first glance, but in its native Greenland this name can be used for girls and boys. Its meaningful origin makes it an especially lovely choice: in Greenlandic culture, Angerla is an indirect way to honour a family member who has passed away, by carrying their memory on with a new addition to the family.
Pronounced ANG-er-luh.
