Last name origins & meanings:
- German and Dutch: from a short form of various Germanic
personal names (see, for example, Engelbert and
Engelhard). A number of different elements have fallen together
in Engel-, mainly Ingal, extended form of Ing,
the name of a Germanic god or folk hero, and Angel ‘Angle’. The
Angles were a Germanic tribe living on the Jutland peninsula; in the
5th–6th centuries they invaded eastern and northern Britain and gave
their name to England (Old English Englaland ‘land of the
Angles’).
- German and Dutch: in some cases a habitational name for
someone living at a house bearing the sign of an angel, Middle High
German engel.
- Jewish (Ashkenazic): ornamental name from
German Engel ‘angel’ (see 2).
