Our story of Diangelo
Ours, offered as ours. Italian surnames record descent with di or de — Di Angelo, D'Amico, De Luca — in the same way that Mac and Fitz do in Gaelic and Norman naming. D'Angelo reached America with Italian emigration and became a familiar surname. Its move into given-name use, largely in African-American families, produced Diangelo and DeAngelo. The angel behind it is genuinely Greek and the possessive is genuinely Italian; the join is American.
Meaningscholars disagree
of Angelo, of the angel
Italian di means of and marks descent, so D'Angelo names the son of a man called Angelo. Angelo itself is from Greek angelos, a messenger. Whether the American given name came from the Italian surname or was assembled from Di- and Angelo is not documented.

The Garreth test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Diangelo's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Garreth climbed just as high around 1969, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Garreth's path sketches the road Diangelo is walking now.
