Angelis

Angelis is a proper noun used primarily as a surname and, less commonly, as a given name in Italian-speaking communities and among descendants of Italian emigrants. The name is derived from Angelo, the Italian word for “angel,” and is related to other forms such as Angeli and Angelo. In onomastic contexts, Angelis appears in various countries with Italian heritage and may show spelling variations due to migration and transcription.

In addition to its use as a family name, Angelis sometimes appears in fiction, media, or branding as a character name, a company, or a fictional organization. Because it is relatively uncommon, there is no single dominant bearer or topic associated with the term.

In linguistic and historical sources, Angelis can be encountered as a Latinized form or in records that preserve older orthography, sometimes as a variation of Angelo-based surnames. The form reflects the broader pattern of Italian names that derive from religious or virtuous concepts.

Related forms include Angeli and Angelo, which share the same root. The term Angelis may thus be encountered in genealogical databases, catalogs, and branding that draw on Italian naming conventions.
