Origin
Meaning and history of Deangello
The name Deangello is thought to have originated as an Italian variation of the name Angelo, which itself derives from the Greek word "angelos" meaning "messenger" or "angel." It is a masculine given name that emerged during the Renaissance period in Italy, when interest in classical Greek and Roman culture was revived.
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Deangello can be found in the writings of the Italian Renaissance humanist and philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), who made references to individuals with this name in his works. Ficino's writings played a significant role in popularizing the study of ancient Greek philosophy and literature during the Renaissance.
In the 16th century, the name Deangello gained further prominence as it was adopted by several notable figures in Italian art and literature. One such individual was the Venetian painter Deangello Bronzino (1503-1572), known for his portraits of the Medici family and his role in the Mannerist art movement.
Another influential bearer of the name was the Italian poet and playwright Deangello Gallo (1565-1644), who was celebrated for his poetic works and his contributions to the development of the commedia dell'arte theatrical tradition.
In the 17th century, the name Deangello crossed the Atlantic and found its way into the New World. One of the earliest recorded instances of this name in the Americas was Deangello Riccio (1618-1688), an Italian-born Jesuit missionary who worked among the Native American tribes of present-day Maryland and Virginia.
As the centuries passed, the name Deangello continued to be used in various parts of the world, particularly in regions with strong Italian cultural influences. One notable bearer of the name was the Italian-American opera singer Deangello Simonetti (1889-1957), who performed with the Metropolitan Opera in New York City and was renowned for his interpretations of the works of Verdi and Puccini.
These are just a few examples of the individuals who have carried the name Deangello throughout history, reflecting its rich cultural heritage and enduring legacy across different eras and geographic regions.

FAQ
Deangello: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Deangello?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Deangello 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 31,159,485 US residents.
Is Deangello a common name?
We classify Deangello as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Deangello most popular?
The single biggest year for Deangello was 1995, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Deangello is about 30 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 Deangello in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Deangello a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Deangello 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 Deangello still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Deangello 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 Deangello 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.
