Name Origin


I thought that I could share my DYNAREL homework with everyone.

Ever since my mother always thought that every baby is an angel, and so expecting me to come out of this world alive, she would name me Angel. Thinking that it would be too common, she added –ine to the word, and thus Angeline has been formed. Coming from the Greek origin, Angeline, is a diminutive of Angela which means messenger of the Gods. My mother is a religious person and thought that I would be one of the ways to communicate with God.

My father disapproves of having Angeline only as my name. He looked through the magazine and saw Denise Richards, an American actress and former Fashion Model, who became famous in the late 1990s. Based on her childhood days, she was a “tomboy” by being the only girl in their baseball team. It explains a lot why I tend to act that I own more balls than my guy friends. My dad being a James Bond fan, Denise Richards appeared as a nuclear-physicist Christmas Jones in a 1999 James Bond film The World is Not Enough. She made appearances in Spin City, Two and a Half Men, Friends and Seinfield.

Basing on the name origin, the French word meant follower of Dionysius, Greek god of wine, the inspirer of ritual madness and ecstasy, known as Bacchus by the Romans. He is the patron deity of agriculture and theater. The divine mission of Dionysus was to mingle the music of the aulos (ancient Greek instrument) and to bring an end to care and worry.

Talking about my common surname, Rivera, it is bestowed to a person who lives near a riverbank.
