Angiolo is Italian in Origin.

Angiolo is a Tuscan Italian variant of Angelo, from Greek angelos “messenger” via Latin angelus, meaning “angel; messenger of God.” It took root in central Italy - especially Florence - where local spelling favored -gi- over -ge-. The name appears from the late medieval period onward, borne by figures such as architect Angiolo Mazzoni (1894–1979), writer Angiolo Orvieto (1869–1967), and designer Angiolo Giuseppe “A.G.” Fronzoni (1923–2002). Today it is rare but recognizably traditional and devotional.

Close variants include the standard Italian Angelo and the archaic Tuscan Agnolo; diminutives are Angiolino and Angioletto. It also features in compounds like Michelangiolo, an older Tuscan form of Michelangelo. Feminine counterparts are Angela, Angiola, Angioletta, and Angiolina. Cognates across languages include Greek Angelos, Spanish Ángel/Ángelo, Catalan Àngel, English Angel, and Croatian Anđelo. Pronounced AHN-joh-lo in Italian.
