Origin and meaning of Evangelos
Evangelos is the male counterpart of Evangelia, from the Greek euangélion (εὐαγγέλιον), 'good news' — the same root as the word 'gospel'. The name celebrates the Christian message of salvation and is deeply felt in Greek Orthodox tradition, often linked to the March 25th Annunciation feast. In daily use it is commonly shortened to Vangelis, made globally famous by the Oscar-winning composer Vangelis.
