Our story of Miangel
Every language has a stock of endearments for children, and occasionally one of them is written on a certificate. Spanish is unusually rich in them and unusually willing to register them: Milagros, miracles; Consuelo, consolation; Amada, beloved; and the phrase-names, Mi Angel, Mi Alma, Mi Vida. The step from what a parent says to what a form records is small in a language where the endearment is already a noun. What changes is that the phrase becomes fixed: a nickname adapts to a growing child and a registered name does not. Miangel appears in United States records from the 1990s and reaches its best year in 2012, and it is used in Mexican and Central American families almost exclusively.

Spanish mi, my, and angel, from Greek angelos, a messenger. The compound is an ordinary Spanish phrase rather than a traditional name, and the meaning is exactly what the words say. American records store what is written in a single field, which is why the space between them is gone.
