Tangella is English in Origin.
Tangella is a modern American feminine name, most plausibly created by attaching the productive Ta-/Tan- prefix to Angela. Angela comes from Greek Angelos 'messenger, angel,' via Latin and European medieval usage; the double-l in Tangella echoes Romance -ella endings favored in modern name styling.
The name surfaced in U.S. usage in the late 20th century, aligning with African-American creative naming patterns that elaborate classics with new prefixes and melodic suffixes. It has never been broadly common and remains a rare choice today. As a blend anchored in Angela, its meaning is typically read as "angel" or "messenger (of God)," with the prefixed element adding rhythm rather than changing sense. Variants and near-variants: Tangela, T'Angela, T-Angela, TAngela, and Tanjela, all relatively rare.
