Angelique is a name of French origin that means "angelic". It was popularized in the 17th century by the novel "Lesage", written by Honore d'Urfé, which featured a character named Angelique. The name has since become associated with elegance and grace.
The name Anjelique experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a noticeable spike in usage during the mid-90s, particularly in 1996 and 1997 when it was given to 19 and 18 babies respectively. However, it appears that its appeal has waned somewhat since then, as the number of births per year has generally decreased.
