Origin
Meaning and history of Angeldejesus
The given name Angeldejesus is a combination of two Spanish words, "angel" meaning "angel" and "de Jesus" meaning "of Jesus". It is a name primarily used in Spanish-speaking countries and regions with a significant Christian influence, particularly in Latin America and Spain.
The name has its origins in the Christian tradition, where angels are believed to be celestial beings that serve as messengers of God. The word "angel" is derived from the Greek word "angelos", which means "messenger". The phrase "de Jesus" is a direct reference to Jesus Christ, the central figure in Christianity.
Historically, the name Angeldejesus gained popularity during the Spanish colonial era in the Americas, when the Catholic Church played a significant role in the spread of Christianity and the naming traditions of the region. It was often given to children as a way to express devotion to Jesus Christ and the belief in the protection of angels.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Angeldejesus can be found in the baptismal records of various parishes in Spain and its colonies during the 16th and 17th centuries. However, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the name as it was likely formed through the combination of two existing words rather than being a single word with a specific etymology.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Angeldejesus. One such person was Angeldejesus Villafuerte (1674-1749), a Spanish-born Catholic priest and missionary who worked among the indigenous people of California during the Spanish colonization of the region.
Another notable figure was Angeldejesus Perez (1812-1889), a Venezuelan military leader who played a significant role in the country's struggle for independence from Spain. He was known for his bravery and leadership during various battles against the Spanish forces.
In the 20th century, Angeldejesus Arroyo (1918-2008) was a renowned Puerto Rican painter and sculptor. His works were heavily influenced by the cultural and religious traditions of Puerto Rico, and he is considered one of the most important artists in the island's history.
Angeldejesus Herrera (1941-2021) was a Mexican-American activist and community organizer who dedicated her life to advocating for the rights of migrant workers and promoting social justice. She played a vital role in the establishment of several organizations that supported and empowered the Latino community in the United States.
Finally, Angeldejesus Guevara (1958-present) is a Venezuelan baseball player who had a successful career in the Major League Baseball (MLB) during the 1980s and 1990s. He is remembered for his exceptional pitching skills and his contributions to several MLB teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Montreal Expos.

FAQ
Angeldejesus: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Angeldejesus?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 98 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Angeldejesus going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

When was Angeldejesus most popular?
The single biggest year for Angeldejesus was 1986, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Angeldejesus is about 22 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Angeldejesus in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Angeldejesus still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Angeldejesus in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Angeldejesus can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
