Angelov Origin and Meaning

Angelov is a Bulgarian and Macedonian surname derived from the personal name Angel, which comes from the Greek word 'angelos' meaning 'messenger' or 'angel.' As a family name, it follows the Slavic naming pattern with the suffix '-ov' indicating 'son of' or 'belonging to' Angel. While primarily used as a surname in Eastern European countries, particularly in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and parts of Russia, it occasionally appears as a masculine given name. The name carries religious connotations due to its association with heavenly messengers in Christian traditions. As a first name, Angelov remains relatively uncommon internationally but maintains cultural significance in Slavic regions.
