Origin
Meaning and history of Angeluis
The given name Angeluis is a variant of the more common name Angelus, which has its origins in the Latin word "angelus" meaning "messenger" or "angel". This name was likely derived from the Greek word "angelos", which also means "messenger" or "envoy". The name is closely associated with the concept of angels in Christian theology and has been in use since ancient times.
In the early days of Christianity, the name Angelus was sometimes used to refer to members of the clergy or religious figures who were considered messengers of God. It was also a popular name among early Christian communities, particularly in regions where Latin was spoken.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Angeluis can be found in the writings of the Roman historian Tacitus, who mentioned an individual named Angeluis in his work "Annals" from around 109 AD. This suggests that the name was in use during the early Roman Empire.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Angeluis or its variants. One such person was Angeluis of Spoleto, an Italian Roman Catholic prelate who served as the Bishop of Spoleto in the 11th century. Another notable figure was Angeluis Bargaeus, a 16th-century Italian Renaissance poet and humanist.
In the realm of literature, the name Angeluis appears in the epic poem "Paradise Lost" by John Milton, where it is used to refer to one of the fallen angels who rebelled against God.
Other notable individuals with the name Angeluis include Angeluis Merula, a 15th-century Italian humanist and grammarian, and Angeluis Politianus, a 15th-century Italian Renaissance scholar and poet.
While the name Angeluis is not as common today as its more widespread variant Angelus, it has a rich historical legacy that spans various cultures and time periods, reflecting its association with the concept of divine messengers and angels in Christian tradition.

FAQ
Angeluis: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Angeluis?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Angeluis going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Angeluis a common name?
We classify Angeluis as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Angeluis most popular?
The single biggest year for Angeluis was 2001, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Angeluis is about 25 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 Angeluis in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Angeluis a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Angeluis in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Angeluis still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Angeluis 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 Angeluis 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.
