Angie

Angie is a common given name for females, often a diminutive of Angela or Angelina. The name has Greek origins, derived from "angelos," meaning "messenger." It gained popularity in the 20th century and remains a widely recognized and used name in many English-speaking countries.

Notable individuals named Angie include Angie Harmon, an American actress known for her roles in television dramas, and Angie Dickinson, a veteran actress celebrated for her performances in film and television, particularly in the iconic series "Police Woman." The name is also associated with the Rolling Stones song "Angie," released in 1973, which became one of their most famous ballads. The song's lyrics, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, explore themes of heartbreak and longing, though the specific inspiration behind the name "Angie" in the song has been a subject of speculation over the years. The name's enduring appeal is likely due to its pleasant sound and positive connotations associated with the concept of an angel.
