Meaning & History
Andjela is an alternate transcription of the Serbian name Anđela, the South Slavic form of Angela. The name ultimately derives from the Greek word angelos (angelos), meaning "messenger," which in Christian tradition came to refer to spiritual beings such as said messenger.
Etymology and Historical Background
Angela is the feminine form of the Latin name Angelus, itself derived from the Greek angelos. The name Angel, used in English from the medieval period as a masculine name, stems from the same root. In Serbian and Croatian, the name is written as Anđela (with diacritics) and less formally as Andjela in Latin-script contexts when diacritics are omitted. Variants include Anđelka (a longer female form), the diminutive Anđa, and the masculine Anđelko. Cognates in other languages include Anxhela (Albanian), Anzhela (Ukrainian), and Àngela (Catalan).
