Angeline: 30 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 8 births in 1975.
Angeline is a graceful feminine name derived from the Greek *angelos*, meaning "messenger" or "angel," making it a direct cousin of Angela and Angelina. It entered English usage through French and Latin forms, carrying the same celestial, comforting associations. Notable bearers include Angeline Quinto, a celebrated Filipino singer and actress, and Angeline Ball, an Irish actress best known for her role in *The Commitments*. While no major places bear the name directly, its root appears in the Italian town of Anguillara Sabazia, linked by ancient etymology. A charming variant, Angelina, was famously popularised by actress Angelina Jolie, but the shorter Angeline retains a softer, more vintage feel, often chosen by parents seeking a less common but equally lovely alternative to the more widespread Angela.
