From the medieval Latin masculine name Angelus, which was derived from the name of the heavenly creature (itself derived from the Ancient Greek word ἄγγελος (angelos) meaning "messenger"). It has never been very common in the English-speaking world, where it is sometimes used as a feminine given name in modern times. In the United States, it is also seeing increasing use among boys, usually using the standard English pronunciation of the word angel.

Ángel (pronounced /ˈanxel/) is a common male name in Spanish-speaking countries.
