Angelico is Italian in Origin.

Angelico is an Italian and Iberian masculine given name from Latin angelicus “angelic,” ultimately from Greek angelos “messenger; angel.” It conveys the sense “angelic,” “of the angels,” and by extension “pure, heavenly.” The form appears in ecclesiastical Latin and Romance languages, sometimes adopted as a religious or monastic name; it also occurs as a surname in Italy.

While rare as a first name, it has steady, devotional usage in Catholic cultures. The Renaissance painter known as Fra Angelico bears the epithet “Angelico,” and the Portuguese entertainer Angélico Vieira illustrates contemporary given-name use. Principal variants include Angélico (Spanish and Portuguese orthography), Angelicus (Latin), and the feminine Angelica/Angélica; closely related cognates are Angelo, Ángel, and Ângelo. Parents may choose Angelico for its serene, reverent tone and its cross-linguistic familiarity despite distinctive flair.
