Wangelia
One of the rarest names on this list: barely a dozen women in Poland carry it, and no girl has been given it this century. A Greek name at root, from the word for "good news" or gospel.

What Wangelia means
Where Wangelia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Wangelia begins in Greek. Its root is euangelion, made from eu, meaning good, and angelia, meaning message or news. Say the name and you land near that second part, angelia, the piece for news. The literal sense is plain: good news, and from there, gospel.
The word did real work before it was ever a name. Euangelion titled the gospel books, the account of good news. Wangelia holds that same word, so the meaning sat there from the start.
In Polish the sense reads as dobra nowina and ewangelia. Picture the name on a school register in September, one line among the Zuzannas and Amelias, running straight back to a Greek word for news. A short name with a long root. Whoever carries Wangelia carries angelia, the Greek word for news.
