Diangelo
Meaning of Diangelo
The given name Diangelo, traced to Italian patronymic conventions deriving from the prepositional particle “Di” (meaning “of”) coupled with “Angelo” (meaning “angel”), conveys an etymological sense of “of the angel” or “angelic,” and in contemporary Anglo-American contexts it functions as both a homage to religious symbolism and an assertion of cross-cultural identity. Phonologically rendered as dee-AN-jel-oh (/diːˈændʒəloʊ/) in English usage, the name has maintained a consistently modest presence in U.S. naming registers, ranking between the high 700s and low 900s over the past three decades, with a 2024 frequency of 14 occurrences placing it at position 910 nationally. Its fluctuating but generally stable trajectory suggests selective parental adoption, often by those seeking a distinctive yet historically grounded appellation. In analytic terms, Diangelo exemplifies the modern transformation of Italian surnames into given names, reflecting broader naming patterns wherein cultural heritage and semantic resonance inform lexical choice, while its reserved frequency underscores its specialized appeal among a niche demographic.
