MEANING & HISTORY
What does Anjo mean?
Anjo is explicitly described in Cebuano as a blend of Antonio and Jose, also a familiar form of Antonio Jose. Portuguese anjo means angel, but the same spelling does not replace this documented compound-name account.
The two personal-name components retain separate histories rather than producing one new ancient sentence.
