Combination of Lee and Angelo
Liangelo is a modern American invented name, most likely created by combining the prefix 'Li-' (often derived from Lee) with the Italian name Angelo. While Lee refers to a clearing or meadow, Angelo means 'messenger' or 'angel'. It gained public visibility in the 21st century through the Ball family of basketball fame.
