Agafangel
Agafangel (Russian: Агафа́нгел) is an old and rare[1] Russian Christian male first name.[2] The name is derived from the Greek name Agathangelos,[2] which in turn derives from the words agathos—meaning kind, good—and angelos—meaning bearer of news, messenger.[1]
The diminutives of "Agafangel" are Aga (А́га),[2] Fanya (Фа́ня),[2][1] and Agafangelka (Агафа́нгелка).[1]
The patronymics derived from "Agafangel" are "Агафа́нгелович" (Agafangelovich; masculine) and "Агафа́нгеловна" (Agafangelovna; feminine).[1]
