The history of the last name Angeline

The surname Angeline is of French origin, derived from the Old French word "angelin" meaning "angelic" or "heavenly." This name was likely given as a nickname or a descriptive surname to someone who was considered to have an angelic or pure nature.

The earliest recorded instance of the Angeline surname can be traced back to the 12th century in the region of Normandy, France. It was found in various forms such as Angelin, Angeline, and Angelina, reflecting the variations in spelling and pronunciation at that time.

In the 13th century, the name appeared in the Calendars of the Exchequer Rolls of Normandy, which were administrative records kept by the English crown during their rule over Normandy. These rolls documented individuals with the Angeline surname living in various towns and villages across the region.

During the Middle Ages, the Angeline surname was also found in other parts of France, particularly in the northern regions. It is believed that some bearers of this name may have been descendants of the noble Angeline family, who held lands and titles in the Île-de-France region near Paris.

One notable individual with the Angeline surname was Jean Angeline (c. 1480-1545), a French humanist scholar and philosopher. He was born in the town of Châtellerault and gained recognition for his writings on philosophy, mathematics, and theology.

Another prominent figure was Pierre Angeline (1592-1661), a French missionary and priest who dedicated his life to serving the poor and establishing charitable institutions in Normandy. He is revered as the founder of the Sisters of the Divine Providence, a Catholic religious order.

In the 17th century, the Angeline surname was also found in various records in the Netherlands, likely brought by French Huguenot refugees fleeing religious persecution. One such individual was Jacques Angeline (1617-1690), a Dutch merchant and trader who settled in Amsterdam and established a successful business importing goods from the East Indies.

The Angeline surname continued to spread across Europe, with bearers appearing in various regions and countries over the centuries. Notable examples include Maximilian Angeline (1810-1892), a German composer and music theorist, and Maria Angeline (1870-1932), an Italian novelist and playwright known for her works exploring social issues and women's rights.
