DeAngelo

Etymology
DeAngelo is an Italian surname formed with the particle de, meaning "of" or "from," plus the personal name Angelo. Angelo comes ultimately from Latin angelus, borrowed from Greek angelos, meaning "messenger" and later "angel." In surname use, DeAngelo would originally have identified someone as the son or family of a man named Angelo, or as a person associated with that name.
History
The surname is Italian in form and is especially familiar in Italian-American communities. In the United States it is often written as one word, though older records may show De Angelo or Di Angelo. Like many surnames built from a given name, it likely arose independently in more than one family line.
