Name: Angela Abrams
Full Name: Angela Claire AbramsFull Name Meaning
Angela: The name Angela is derived from Church Latin as the feminine version of the boy's name Angelus (meaning 'angel'). The classical Greek word "angelos" means 'messenger' but it has acquired its full meaning (messenger of God, specifically) from the Bible (i.e., an angel). The name took off in Great Britain and the United Sates in the 18th century onwards, but Angela has been in use throughout Europe. As such, the name does not feel distinctly Italian, Spanish, Greek or English. It's a rare example of a universal crossover name through its widespread adoption in many languages, cultures and geographies. Angela is currently a Top 30 name in Spain (based off 2009 data) while Angeliki is a Top 10 choice in Greece.
Claire: Claire is a French name derived from the Latin "clārus" meaning "clear, bright, distinct" or sometimes "illustrious, bright, shining". Clara would be the Latinate equivalent, Clare English and Chiara Italian. Inspiration behind the usage of Claire would arrive in the Middle Ages in homage to a 12th/13th century Italian woman by the name of Chiara Offreduccio, later known as St. Clare of Assisi, a notable disciple of St. Francis. In order to help the poor she founded an order of nuns named the Poor Clares, who continue to serve today. The word "clair" in French essentially means "clear" (hence the word "clairvoyance" which means clear vision). Some etymologists suggest that Clare (the English version) may have developed as a surname derived from an occupation name, from the Old Anglo-Saxon "clæg" in reference to a "clayer" (one who worked with clay, a plasterer). The French form, Claire, was revived in the 19th century, as was Clara. Today Claire is only moderately popular in France. It's most commonly used among Canadians and Americans.
Abrams: The saga of the Abrams family name begins among the people of an ancient Scottish tribe called the Picts. The Abrams name is derived from the name Abraham. The name means chief (or father) of a multitude and exalted father.
