Angie
Girl name · 86 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Angie: 86 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 13 births in 1976.
Angie began life as a cheerful diminutive of Angela, which itself comes from the Greek angelos, meaning "messenger" — later embraced by Christianity as "angel." Though often a nickname, it has long stood confidently on its own, especially in English-speaking countries. The name gained international fame through American actress Angie Dickinson, star of the 1970s crime drama Police Woman, and R&B singer Angie Stone. Places sharing the same "angel" root include the stunning Angel Falls in Venezuela and Los Ángeles in California. In Scotland, Angie has appeared on birth records as a given name since at least the 1970s, offering a friendly, approachable alternative to longer angelic names while still carrying that celestial meaning.
