What is the meaning of the name Angelo ?

The baby name Angelo is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˈændʒəloʊ/ (AN-je-loh); Italian: /ˈandʒelo/ (AN-jeh-lo).

Angelo is Italian in Origin.

Angelo is the Italian form of Latin Angelus, from Greek ángelos, meaning “messenger,” the word used in Christian scripture for a divine envoy, hence “angel.” Adopted as a baptismal name in late antiquity and the Middle Ages, it carried strong devotional appeal in Catholic regions. A notable early bearer is Saint Angelo of Jerusalem (13th century), a Carmelite martyr venerated in Sicily, which helped root the name across the Italian peninsula.

Use remains highest in Italy and among the Italian diaspora, and the name has seen periodic popularity in the United States since immigration waves of the early 1900s. Related forms include Spanish Ángel and English/Slavic Angel, Portuguese Ângelo, Greek Ángelos (Modern Greek Ággelos), Croatian/Serbian Anđelo and Anđelko, and Romanian Anghel; feminine counterparts are Angela and Angelina. Diminutives and variants include Angelino, Angiolino, and Lino. Notable modern bearer: Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli (Pope John XXIII).
