About the name
Angelo is Italian — "angel, messenger" — from the Greek angelos, worn by doges, popes (Angelo Roncalli became John XXIII), and generations of firstborn Italian-American sons.
Angelo holds steady in the American 250-350 range: familiar without being common, old-country without costume.
The name is a fresco with a nickname problem solved — Ange and Gelo both work. It pairs well with short middles (Angelo James, Angelo Cruz). On our vibe map it is Heirloom with Cultural Fusion wings — the messenger who settled in Brooklyn.
