Angelia is a feminine given name derived from the Greek word 'angelos' (ἄγγελος), meaning 'messenger' or 'angel'. It is a variant of Angela, which gained popularity in Christian Europe due to the veneration of angels. The name has been used in English-speaking countries since at least the early 20th century, with a notable peak in the 1970s.
