Angelita is a beautiful and unique feminine given name of Spanish origin. It is derived from the Spanish word "angel," which means "angel." Therefore, Angelita can be translated as "little angel."
The name has been used in Spain for centuries but gained popularity during the late 19th century and early 20th century. It was particularly popular among the Spanish Romani communities, who often chose names with religious connotations to express their faith.
One famous person named Angelita is Angelita Lind, a Mexican-American actress known for her role in the television series "Sons of Anarchy." Despite its Spanish origins, Angelita has also been adopted by other cultures and can be found among people of various ethnicities today.
