Meaning & origin

Anglia is a rare and elusive name, first appearing in U.S. birth records in 1954. It achieved its peak year in 1966, though even then it was given to fewer than five babies annually. The name has remained stable but extremely uncommon, with no recorded usage in the latest year data. Its origin is uncertain, likely a geographical or Latinate variant of Angela, and it has no strong ties to any particular region or culture. For parents seeking a genuinely unique name with a soft, melodic sound, Anglia offers a distinctive choice, though its rarity means it may require explanation.

Anglia is a rare name, likely a feminine form derived from the Latin name for England, "Anglia." It may also be a variant of Angela, influenced by the geographical term. First recorded in the U.S. in 1954, it saw modest use in the 1960s, peaking in 1966, but remains uncommon.
