Angelea is Greek in Origin.

Angelea is a modern, primarily English-language variant of Angela, ultimately from Late Latin Angela, the feminine of Angelus, itself from Greek angelos meaning “messenger, angel.” The -ea ending likely reflects influence from Lea/Leah and similar names, yielding the an-juh-LEE-uh sound while keeping the same celestial sense: “angel; messenger of God.”

Angela has long-standing use across Christian Europe, buoyed by devotion to figures such as St. Angela Merici (16th century) and later by 20th-century popularity in many countries. Angelea, by contrast, surfaces only sporadically from the late 20th century onward, chiefly in the United States, and gained brief pop-culture notice in the 2000s–2010s. Related forms and cognates include Angela, Angelia, Angella, Ángela (Spanish), Ângela (Portuguese), and Angèle (French); Polish Aniela is a cognate. Common diminutives and short forms are Angie, Lea/Leah, and Lia.
