An uncommon Greek pick — distinctive and rare.
Avangeline is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a creative elaboration of Evangeline, derived from the Greek euangelion, meaning 'good news' or 'bearer of good news.' The Av- prefix gives it a fresh, distinctive opening while preserving the name's lyrical, angelic quality.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1847 poem Evangeline made this name beloved in American literature — Avangeline carries that poetic tradition forward with its own unique twist.
Avangeline has 19+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2006.
