Angelis

Meaning of Angelis

Angelis, pronounced AN-jeh-lis (/ˈeɮndlɪs/), derives from the Greek angelos, meaning “messenger” or “angel,” and carries a unisex resonance that transcends conventional gender lists. In Persian culture, where malaika—angelic intermediaries of poetry and myth—inhabit lyrical landscapes, Angelis evokes a subtle dialogue between East and West, balancing analytical precision with poetic possibility. The –is suffix lends a scholarly cadence, as if its letters were quietly carved in stone. In the United States, its annual tally—usually fewer than twenty newborns and a rank hovering between 800 and 950—underscores its discreet charm: rare enough to avoid the high-traffic top tens, yet memorable in its understatement. For parents seeking a name that weaves classical heritage, cultural nuance, and muted elegance, Angelis offers a messenger’s promise: to carry personal stories across generations, with perhaps a wry smile tucked into its syllables.
