What is the meaning of the name Angelika ?

The baby name Angelika is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ænˈdʒɛlɪkə/ (an-JEL-ih-kə); Continental/German/Polish: /anˈɡelika/ (ahn-GEL-ee-kah).

Angelika is Greek in Origin.

Angelika is the Central and Eastern European form of Angelica, from Late Latin Angelica ("angelic") ultimately from Greek angelos, "messenger; angel." It carries the meaning "angelic" or "messenger of God," with the -k- spelling reflecting Germanic and Slavic orthography.

In use across the German-speaking world since the early modern era, Angelika became especially fashionable in Germany and Austria in the 1950s-70s and spread throughout Poland, Czechia and Slovakia, and Scandinavia. East Slavic Anzhelika (Анжелика) surged after the mid-1960s French Angélique film cycle, while Ukrainian Anhelika and Belarusian Anzhalika show local phonetics. Other variants include Angelica (English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Andželika (Latvian), and Hungarian and Croatian Angelika; related short forms are Angie, Geli (German), and Lika (East Slavic). Literary prestige stems from Ariosto's Orlando Furioso heroine Angelica, reinforcing the name's refined, virtuous aura.
