Meaning: Angel; Messenger of God

Though a distinctive play on the feminine name Angela, Anjela still retains a noble air. Formed from the Greek ángelos, meaning "messenger," Anjela bears its later Christian interpretation of "angel" or "messenger of God." Anjela is most aligned with the image of the guardian spirit, instilling its bearer with the honorable task of protector and empowering guide.
