Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Angela je ženská podoba latinského osobného mena Angelus. Jeho základom je latinské angelus „anjel“, prevzaté z gréckeho ἄγγελος (angelos) „posol, zvestovateľ“, v náboženskom kontexte „anjel“. Gréčtina predstavuje pôvodný jazykový základ a latinčina sprostredkujúci jazyk; nejde o konkurenčné hypotézy pôvodu.
