Arcangelo

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Arcangelo is an Italian masculine given name. It derives from the term "arcangelo" (archangel), which in Christian tradition denotes a particular type of angel. Etymologically it derives, through the ecclesiastical Latin archangelus, from the ancient Greek αρχάγγελος (arkhággelos), composed of ἄρχων (archon, "chief", "lord") and ἄγγελος (aggelos, "angel", originally "messenger"), with the overall meaning of "chief of the angels".
