Origin: Latin

Meaning: Messenger of God; Angelic

Angelika is a beautiful and poetic girl's name with multiple origins and variations. It derives from the Latin name Angelica, meaning "angelic,” and the Greek name Angela, meaning "messenger of God." Since the seventeenth century, caregivers have been drawn to Angelika and its forms through plays and poetry. The nurse character in Romeo and Juliet bore the name, as did the witty and intelligent Angelica Schuyler of Broadway's Hamilton. Your little angel—another cool nickname—will have plenty of strong role models to guide them.
