The history of the last name Angele

The surname Angele originates from France and can be traced back to the 12th century. It is derived from the Old French word "ange," meaning angel or messenger of God. The name Angele was likely originally a nickname given to someone with angelic qualities or a gentle, kind demeanor.

In the Middle Ages, surnames began to emerge as a way to distinguish between individuals with the same given name. The surname Angele likely developed from a nickname or a descriptive name associated with a person's character or appearance. It may have also been given to someone who lived near a church or monastery dedicated to an angel.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Angele can be found in the "Cartulaire de l'Abbaye de Savigny," a medieval cartulary or collection of charters from the Abbey of Savigny in Normandy, France. This document, dating back to the 12th century, mentions a man named Robertus Angele.

The surname Angele has been present in various regions of France throughout history. In the 13th century, a nobleman named Jean Angele was recorded in the "Rôles des fiefs du Duché de Bourgogne" (Rolls of the Fiefs of the Duchy of Burgundy). Another notable figure with this surname was Étienne Angele, a 14th-century French scholar and theologian from Paris.

During the Renaissance period, the name Angele gained some prominence in the arts. François Angele (1548-1617) was a French painter and engraver known for his religious works, while Jean-Baptiste Angele (1595-1647) was a poet and dramatist from Normandy.

In more recent history, notable individuals with the surname Angele include Jacques Angele (1798-1879), a French lawyer and politician who served as a deputy in the National Assembly, and Marie-Thérèse Angele (1916-1997), a French writer and poet born in Marseille.
