ANGI

Angi is a feminine given name used in several European countries. It is frequently a short form of Angela, Angeline, or Angelica, though it can be used independently. The spelling Angi is common in German-speaking regions and parts of Northern Europe, and it may appear in other languages as a nickname or given name.

As a name, Angi does not denote a specific meaning beyond its origin from longer forms such as Angela, which derives from Greek angelos meaning “messenger.” The popularity and usage of Angi vary by time and culture, and it may be given to individuals without reference to its longer forms.

In medical terminology, angi- or angio- is a combining form derived from Greek angeion meaning “vessel.” It is used to form terms related to blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, such as angiography (imaging of blood vessels), angioplasty (vessel widening), and angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels). The form can appear as “angio-” in some terms and as “angi-” in others.

Outside personal names and medical usage, Angi is not a widely used technical term. It may appear as a brand name or acronym in limited contexts.

Overall, Angi is primarily encountered as a given name and as a root in medical vocabulary.
