Ange is French in Origin.

Ange is the French given name meaning “angel,” from Latin angelus and ultimately Greek ángelos, “messenger.” As a French forename it has been used since the medieval period as a devotional choice, and in France it is traditionally masculine, though modern usage can be unisex, especially in francophone Africa and the Caribbean. Notable bearers include the royal architect Ange‑Jacques Gabriel (1698–1782) and the missionary‑lexicographer Ange de Saint‑Joseph (1636–1697); in the wider world, it also appears as a nickname for Greek Angelos.

International equivalents include Italian Angelo, Spanish Ángel, Portuguese Ângelo, Greek Angelos, Bulgarian Angel, and English Angel. In French, compounds like Marie‑Ange (f.) and Ange‑Marie (m.) occur, while feminine counterparts include Angèle, Angela, Angéline/Angeline, Angélique, and Angelica. Diminutives vary by language - Angie, Lina, or Geli - while the French form Ange typically remains unchanged. The name conveys purity, guidance, and protection, with connotations of grace and a benevolent messenger.
