MEANING & HISTORY
What does Angie mean?
Angie is a diminutive of Angela and other names beginning with Ang. Through Angela it belongs to the angel and messenger name family, but its immediate formation is a familiar shortening.
A bearer may use Angie as a complete name rather than a substitute for Angela. The Rolling Stones song is a recognizable cultural association of the form. That song helped popularize an existing name rather than creating its older linguistic ancestry.
