This name means “angel, messenger, the messenger of God.” Saint Angelus (Italian: Sant’Angelo) (1185–1220) was one of the Carmelite Order’s early members, who suffered martyrdom for the Faith at Leocata, Sicily.

This name derives from the Ancient Greek name “Diónūsos (Διόνῡσος) > Diónysos (Διόνυσος)”, composed of two elements: “Zeús (Ζεύς) Días (Δίας)” (Zeus, heavenly, divine) plus “Nûsa (Νῦσᾰ) Nýsa (Νύσα)” (mountainous land where the Hyades raised the infant god Dionysus). In Greek mythology, the mountainous district of Nysa, variously associated with Ethiopia, Libya, Tribalia, India or Arabia by Greek mythographers, was the traditional place where the rain-nymphs, the Hyades, raised the infant god Dionysus, the “Zeus of Nysa.” This name is linked to the Thracian Olympian deity Dionysus, the god of wine, parties, and festivals, madness, chaos, drunkenness, and pleasure of eternal youth. He was depicted in art as either an older bearded god or a pretty effeminate, long-haired youth. His symbols include the thyrsus (a pinecone-tipped staff), a drinking cup, a grapevine, and a crown of ivy.

The origin of this name is still quite uncertain today. The theories include: 1) From the Proto-Slavic “ubogъ “(Slavic: Bog ‘Бог’), a Bahuvrihi compound of *u and an adjective *bogъ (fortunate), but which later shifted in meaning to “god.” This convincing parallel has led some linguists to claim that “*bogъ” is an Iranian borrowing. Slavic-Iranian parallelism can be further extended to Slavic mythology expressions: Dažbog, Belobog, and Chernobog, which suggest the existence of Iranian-type dualism in Proto-Slavic mythology. The name is meant as “heavenly, godlike, celestial.” 2) From the Persian name “Behrouz, Behrooz has been traced to the Middle Persian reconstruction of the name “Bōrān” (Bvrandkht), meaning “prosperous life, good days in life, success.” Boris I was the ruler of the First Bulgarian Empire in 852–889. At the time of his baptism in 864, Boris was named Michael after his godfather, Emperor Michael III. The historian Steven Runciman called him one of the most significant persons in history. Boris and Gleb, Christian names Roman and David, were the first saints canonized in Kievan Rus’ after the country’s Christianization. The feast day is traditionally celebrated on July 24 and August 6.

This name derives from the Hebrew “‘ôrâh > ‘ûrı̂y’êl > Uriy’el,” meaning “Jehovah (Yahweh) is my light (flame).” Uriel is one of the archangels of post-Exilic Rabbinic tradition, and also of certain Christian traditions. His name may have analogies. Where a fourth archangel is added to the named three, to represent the four cardinal points, Uriel is generally the fourth. Uriel is listed as the fourth angel in Christian Gnostics (under the name Phanuel), by Gregory the Great, and in the angelology of Pseudo-Dionysius. However, the Book of Enoch clearly distinguishes the two Angels; Uriel means ‘the Light of God’ while Phanuel means “the Face of God.”

Origin: greek
This name derives from the Ancient Greek name “Diónūsos (Διόνῡσος) > Diónysos (Διόνυσος)”, composed of two elements: “Zeús (Ζεύς) Días (Δίας)” (Zeus, heavenly, divine) plus “Nûsa (Νῦσᾰ) Nýsa (Νύσα)” (mountainous land where the Hyades raised the infant god Dionysus). In Greek mythology, the mountainous district of Nysa, variously associated with Ethiopia, Libya, Tribalia, India or Arabia by Greek mythographers, was the traditional place where the rain-nymphs, the Hyades, raised the infant god Dionysus, the “Zeus of Nysa.” This name is linked to the Thracian Olympian deity Dionysus, the god of wine, parties, and festivals, madness, chaos, drunkenness, and pleasure of eternal youth. He was depicted in art as either an older bearded god or a pretty effeminate, long-haired youth. His symbols include the thyrsus (a pinecone-tipped staff), a drinking cup, a grapevine, and a crown of ivy.
