Angelica by the numbers
In 2025, 30 babies in England and Wales were named Angelica. In the US, 570 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 3,404 babies in 1996, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1995, about 1 in 570 American girls born that year was called Angelica.
