About the name Rosângela

Behind the Name describes Rosângela as a combination of the names Rosa and Angela. Rosa is usually explained by Latin rosa, 'rose', although it perhaps originally comes from the Germanic name Roza; Angela is the feminine form of Angelus, a Medieval Latin name taken from the word for 'angel', which goes back to Greek angelos, 'messenger'. Wiktionary records Rosangela, without the accent, as a variant, and IBGE counts the two spellings together. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 295,621 people named Rosângela, with a median age of 49. It is an almost always female name, with the largest group born in the 1970s.
