Origin
Meaning and history of Deangelio
The name Deangelio is believed to have originated from the Latin language, with its roots tracing back to the ancient Roman Empire. It is a combination of two Latin words, "de" meaning "of" or "from," and "angelio," which is derived from the word "angelus," meaning "angel." This suggests that the name Deangelio carries the meaning of "of the angels" or "belonging to the angels."
During the Roman era, names were often chosen to reflect the virtues or characteristics parents hoped their children would possess. The inclusion of "angelio" in the name Deangelio may have been influenced by the Roman belief in guardian angels or the desire for their child to embody angelic qualities such as purity, innocence, and divine protection.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Deangelio can be traced back to the 5th century AD, when it was mentioned in a collection of writings by the Roman philosopher and statesman Boethius. In his work "The Consolation of Philosophy," Boethius refers to a character named Deangelio, though little is known about the historical context or significance of this individual.
Throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period, the name Deangelio appeared sporadically in various historical records and documents. One notable figure was Deangelio Boccaccio, an Italian painter born in 1475 in Florence, known for his contributions to the Renaissance art movement.
In the 17th century, Deangelio Galilei, the son of the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei, was born in 1609. Although not as renowned as his father, Deangelio Galilei made his mark as a musician and composer, contributing to the development of early Baroque music.
Another historical figure with the name Deangelio was Deangelio Bernini, an Italian sculptor and architect born in 1598. He was a prominent figure in the Baroque period and is best known for his work on the Baroque sculpture and architecture of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
In the 19th century, Deangelio Verdi, an Italian composer and librettist, was born in 1813. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential composers of the Romantic era, with his operas such as "La Traviata" and "Aida" becoming enduring classics.
While the name Deangelio has not been widely popular throughout history, it has maintained a presence, particularly in certain regions of Europe, where it has been used to honor the cultural and religious significance of angels in various traditions.

FAQ
Deangelio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Deangelio?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 12 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Deangelio 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 28,562,862 US residents.
Is Deangelio a common name?
We classify Deangelio as "Very Rare". It ranks above 32.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 12 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Deangelio most popular?
The single biggest year for Deangelio was 1990, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Deangelio is about 34 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 Deangelio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Deangelio a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Deangelio 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 Deangelio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Deangelio 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 Deangelio 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.
