Anyela is Greek in Origin.

Anyela is a modern Spanish-American variant of Angela, ultimately from Latin Angela, derived from Greek angelos, meaning “messenger” or “angel.” In many Latin American communities, the inserted y signals a contemporary twist while preserving the traditional sense of spiritual guardianship associated with the base name. Pronounced AHN-yeh-la or an-YEH-la in Spanish contexts, it aligns closely with Ángela in sound.

The broader Angela family gained currency in medieval Italy and across Christendom due to devotion to angels and bearers such as St. Angela of Foligno and St. Angela Merici; from there it spread widely in Europe and the Americas. Anyela appears in records from the late 20th century, especially Colombia and the Dominican Republic, and remains uncommon but familiar. Related forms include Angela, Ángela, Angéla, Angella; Slavic Anzhela/Anjela; Polish Aniela; and creative Latin American spellings Anyella. Nicknames: Angie, Angy, Gela, Ela.
