Angel's Notebook puts her name front and center, written in flowing script across a soft watercolor apple blossom design.
Angel comes from the medieval Latin name Angelus, says Behind the Name, taken from the word for the heavenly creature, which itself comes from the Greek angelos, “messenger”. Wikipedia notes that Angel is used for both boys and girls in the English-speaking world, while in Spanish Ángel is a boys’ name.
Behind the Name lists Angela and Angelle as English variants, and Wikipedia’s long list of related names includes Angelina, Angelica, Angélique and Angie. Angie is the friendliest short form.
Basketball star Angel Reese, nicknamed the “Bayou Barbie”, led LSU to its first national championship in 2023 and was named Most Outstanding Player. Wikipedia says she set the NCAA single-season record for double-doubles, went seventh overall to the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA draft, and set the league’s single-season rebounding record as a rookie.
As a girls’ name, Angel had a long, steady run. US Social Security data has it at 170th in the 1970s, 167th in the 1980s, 162nd in the 1990s and 134th in the 2000s, when more than 25,400 American girls were named Angel. It is used for boys too.
The world’s tallest uninterrupted waterfall is Angel Falls in Venezuela, which drops 979 meters from the edge of Auyán-tepui. Wikipedia says it is named after Jimmie Angel, an American pilot who was the first to fly over the falls, in 1933. His ashes were scattered over the falls in 1960.
Any Angel, of any age. The 6" x 9" size is roomy enough for proper writing and small enough for a handbag or school bag. With 160 plain lined pages there’s no fixed layout, so it can be a diary, a gratitude journal, a study notebook, a recipe book or a home for to-do lists. Notebooks tend to multiply in drawers, but one with her name on the front is instantly hers.
There’s something about seeing your own name in print. It makes a notebook feel like it belongs to you, which is a good reason to fill it. It also means Angel can pick hers out of a pile in a second, at school, at work or on the kitchen counter.
How big is Angel’s Notebook? About the size of a trade paperback book: 6 x 9 inches (15.2 x 22.9 cm), 160 lined pages.
