About Evangel

If Angel is too popular for you, this super-rare related name might appeal, never given to more then 6 boys per year in the US.

Evangel for girls

Evangel is a rare feminine name derived from the Greek word "evangelion," meaning "good news" or "gospel." This connection gives the name strong religious connotations within Christianity, as the Gospels contain the teachings of Jesus Christ. Unlike the more common Evangeline, which incorporates the same root with a feminine suffix, Evangel is direct and concise while maintaining a gentle sound suitable for a feminine name. The name has never been widely used in the United States or other English-speaking countries, remaining an uncommon choice that carries spiritual significance. For parents seeking a name with explicit Christian meaning, Evangel offers a distinctive alternative to more popular religious names while maintaining clear biblical associations.

Pronounced eh-VAN-jel.

As of October 2026, Evangel ranked #11148 in US births in 2014 SSA.
